A quick update...
Last week I shared the news that my latest CT scan wasn’t
great. A lesion on my adrenal gland had grown and there appeared to be activity
in my lymph nodes.
It is really difficult to explain the emotions that were
triggered by this scan. On one hand, I felt silly that I was so upset by these
results because the big picture was not that bad – everything else was stable,
which is great! But, this one naughty little lesion had the potential to change
the direction of my treatment, a treatment that essentially bought me back from
death’s door.
It feels like a lifetime ago that I was given three months
to live and being told that my only hope of more time would be gaining access
to a clinical trial of the drug Keytruda and hope that it would work.
