Just a quick update

Its been awhile since I have had time to update everyone. Been so busy with school and cubscouts being back in. I had my first ct follow up done in July. The results from it were great! Existing tumors are gone and no new tumors have developed. That doesn't mean I am good forever as I still will be doing ct scans every 3 months for awhile. As for now the Gleevec is doing it's job.

I will see my Oncologist at the end of September which I am thinking my next scan will be scheduled for the end of October. As that will be 3 months. I will not be drinking that nasty liquid again, this time I have to go sit at the hospital 3 hours beforehand so I can drink the liquid that taste like gatorade! I would much rather do that then drink the stuff they send home with you.

The side affects of my meds stink as I never no when I will be sick. I have started losing my hair but luckily I have alot and if you weren't me you probaly wouldn't notice unless you came in my bathroom! I know I have to be on the meds for atleast three years and am hoping that is it. Not sure I am ready to give up on another baby yet!

On a positive note as of the 1st we are officially insured. No more crazy medical bills to deal with. If I could give advice to anyone it would be to always have insurace because you never no when something like this will happen. Thats all for now and I will continue to fight this cancer with everything I got cuz I'm just to damn young to die!!!
