goals and the realization about my cancer

Today marks the two month mark from when my doctor called me up and said “hey there is something on your CT scan we need to lok at, Im scheduling you for and MRI next Monday.

Then i was sort of shoved into a world i knew nothing about, I say shoved because that is what it has felt like, like I am being shoved along down a path that I didn’t understand and couldn’t wrap my head around.  I had a rare form of cancer that attacks bones and cartilage, a cancer that is slow moving, slow growing, but a bugger to get rid of.  worst of all I had no symptoms, the reason i had no symptoms wouldn’t be known until my surgery.

through out this process we have been working under the logical assumption that my bones were fairly normal and that i had a standard tumor etc.  What we discovered is that I have extremely dense bones, the phrase big boned would be apt here.  my tumor quite honestly wasn’t stronger than me, it started growing, and caused other symptoms but it wasn’t causing me pain in that hip because, it couldn’t hurt me, it wasn’t big enough or mean enough yet to be anything more than a minor annoyance.  this was not to say that it wouldn’t have continued to grow and eventually require me to have massive surgery to fix it, still could if it wanted to.

but currently I am cancer free, and todays goals are: pants, i have been bumming around in scrubs or shorts since thursday and i think its time to get dressed.

beyond that I’m doing pretty good, a few housekeeping things I need to do regarding the Go-Fundme campaign, along with some other things, but beyond that I am pretty much unable to do a whole lot.

still need the grass mowed
