A Change of Plans

Today I was scheduled to do my 3rd chemo round but instead I am waiting for a 4pm MRI.

Paul and I came here at 8am for my blood work, X-rays and CT scans followed by appointments with the P.A. Dave Johnson who was involved with my surgery to be followed by one with Dr. Conley my chemotherapist.

The news from Dave Johnson was that there is 'something' above my femur replacement which could be normal bone growth or more cancer. A MRI is the next step to get a clearer picture so the decision can be made by my surgeon, Dr. Letson, as to whether to do a biopsy or hopefully, it is nothing and we will resume chemo schedule next Tuesday.

So as I am waiting for this MRI I find it funny that I would be happier if I was doing my dance with the crystal tower instead of waiting for this new uncertainty. Life can be a twisted road at times without a clear picture of the travel time and exact arrival point.

Of course I will be blogging as soon as I have more news.....
