Have been feeling pretty good since my last chemo treatment.  I was supposed to have one this past week, but the Drs office called and told me I couldn't have it.  Seems it was only 20 days since my last treatment, and if I want my insurance to pay it has to be 21 days.  Glad they caught that as it would of cost us around $2,500 and a lot of time spent on the phone with Blue Cross and getting no where.  My recent cat scan came out good..nothing has changed with the tumor in the past 6 months....it hasn't gotten bigger, smaller, moved etc.  So the Dr. wants me to have a PET scan to see what actually is happening with the tumor.  He thinks the tumor may be "dead" or just scar tissue or may still have live cancer cells inside of it...there's no was of knowing unless I have the PET scan.  It is scheduled for May 10th.  It will also show if there is any other cancer activity anywhere else in my body.   He did tell me that I will have to be on some form of chemo even if it shows the tumor is "dead".  Since I was in remission once already and the cancer came back, the odds are high that if I stopped treatment, it would return sooner or later, and we may not catch it as quickly or it could come back with a vengeance and then I'd really be in trouble!  So I'm trying to come to realize that I will be on some form of maintenance  chemo the rest of my life.  Well, I can decide that I don't want to continue with treatment, but the thought of going thru the beginning of treatments for a 3rd time.........can't do it.  So let's hope and pray that the scan will show good results and maybe I can extend my treatments to every few months.....Will see the Dr to get the results on May 15th.
