A Man with Two Watches...

There is a saying that a man with two watches never knows what time it is. As of last Thursday, I now officially have TWO medical oncologists and one radiation oncologist, and they don't always agree. It was my radiation oncologist who ordered the CA27.29 blood test that ultimately discovered my cancer recurrence - apparently this test is pretty unreliable and my medical oncologist didn't like it. My personality is such that I like certainty, so I want all the doctors to agree - CERTAINTY! All the doctors did agree that the original treatment I received was a no brainer because it kills the cancer about 85% of the time...guess I am just lucky. All of them are also surprised at how widespread the cancer is given that I have no symptoms.

I almost had to break down and cry today because I called the insurance company to get information...how sad is it that I don't cry over my diagnosis, but the frustration of dealing with an insurance company makes me want to cry like a baby...anyway, mom came to the rescue and took over. I just called her at work and said, " This is what I need" and she said okay and she dealt with them!

Tomorrow during lunch I will have some blood drawn and then Wednesday at three I will have another chemo treatment. The doctor in Corpus moved the treatments from Mondays to Wednesdays, which works better for me because the soccer team I coach plays on Mondays.

Basically, that's it. Chemo every week and go to Houston about every five to six weeks. I'll let you all know how the chemo went next time. Thanks again to everyone for the love, prayers, and encouragement. If you are reading this, you are a blessing to me. Much love, Kelli
