Dear Life, Cancer patients know that the good news of a clear scan does not necessarily mean the end of treatment. It means the drugs are working to prevent cancer. My oncologist told me this on Tuesday. He also said there’s no cure yet. I came off my pink cloud and landed back on earth. I asked if we could cut treatment in half and he asked if I could stop bargaining with him. Yes, I am that patient. Pushing the edges, advocating for myself, asking all the questions. I am an optimist who hopes to hear “treatment is over”. Someday. Today, I continue the oral meds and infusions. I am grateful to have a Strong Body.
