I need a new attack plan:
Unfortunatly it looks like I have built up a resistance to the treatment regimine, so I will have to change my treatment plan and push for the next solution.I knew this was coming. I had a sense that it was going to happen. So, now we are looking at a treatment that has only been used in the last 5 month on breast cancer mets patients like me.
Although new, it is not intended as a cure. I will still be getting treatment that prolongs life and minimizes side effects.
I am thinking a lot about how I handle this, what am I doing that allows the highest probability of success, and what is the success I expect?
My thoughts just go back to what I felt before.This is how I felt at the beginning of this journey. And, I just want my life back! Cancer, cancer, go away, never come back!
This is stressful and distracting. It is heart-breaking.
Here is why I am not going to loose it:
1. I am still better off than when they first found the metastatic tumors, so I am ahead of the curve.
2. There is a new treatment option, and it should allow me to keep my life like I have it now.
3. I have still got chemo to fall back on.
4. I have hope that the faith I felt before is still worth trusting.
5. I feel myself drawn more to the things that matter.

Oh Bummer Kel! It must be hard to keep waiting on the next test results! It seems like these results vary so much. I admire the way you live your life while waiting. Can't it just be judged by how you feel? The fact that you have a full time job and are raising 3 kids & managing it all miraculously speaks volumes!! I think you have earned a 0 on that stupid marker!! (haha trying to be funny!)
Let me know if you need anything.
I'm glad we all survived these tornadoes and I hope your girls were not traumatized by the "duck and cover" position at school for so long!

I believe in you. You are strong, and you will win.
Yes, there were tornadoes all around us yesterday. Kids had to "duck and cover" for hours. They were a bit upset, a few tears and teasing by classmates, but we are good. None of them seemed to hit close to our area, but many people in the metroplex aren't so lucky.
@ Lori K: I like it! Let's vote. I vote a perfect score too!
@ Claudia: Thanks for you hope and belief in me.
