LABS... THEN CHEMO

Going to do labs in a couple hours and meet with my oncology nurse. The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (https://www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/) website has answered a lot of questions prior to my first chemotherapy treatment tomorrow.

Met with Paula and she went over a few expectations like nausea, fatigue, and what to look for like fever, pain, etc.

I did get some good news from my Gastroenterologist, Dr. Morris. When I had two stents replaced a week ago, he did another liver biopsy deeper down and found no conclusive evidence of cancer. He forwarded the results to my oncologist and oncology surgeon. So, a bright spot has appeared!

I hope the one thing that gets me through this is my tenacity, and the will to live out the best life I possibly can into this unknown journey. I can’t express enough to anyone who may be reading this, the power of faith, and the calming effect of knowing God is real… Not a belief, but real!

I’ll be starting chemotherapy tomorrow and will be there most of the day. I actually have a certain calm about everything right now, realizing that whatever happens… happens!

Until tomorrow…
