Moving On

The pains started in mid July, although I noticed something was different in June. Despite that, I was in the midst of enjoying a fun and active month with family and friends. A long weekend in Montana with friends, a week in Essex County with family, another week in Steinbach with my second family. Thank you for the great memories! When our travels were done, SP and I decided it was time to sell the house and move into a condo. As we packed and prepared for the move, I noticed I was less and less comfortable walking, even just for a few minutes. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us pack, clean, clear, move, take care of Zoey, unpack and assemble! We really couldn't have done it without you. Much love and gratitude to you all for your time and generosity. 

July and September's scans were reassuring. Stable brain MRI and nothing to worry about on CT. None of it explained why my right leg was aching. A rheumatology consult (essentially) ruled out autoimmune causes, although I still have my suspicions. When the aches turned into searing pain and numbness, the oncologist arranged for an urgent spine MRI.  That's where they found it. Progression. There are lesions growing on the epidura of my lower spinal cord. It was compressing my nerves, which corresponds to the areas of pain and numbness. No matter how many times I experience this or know it is to be expected, finding out that I've progressed on another line of treatment is always devastating.  Maybe more so now because I was mostly healthy for a long stretch of time, to the point where I almost forgot what I was living with. It was good while it lasted.

I was immediately started on steroids to reduce inflammation around the spinal cord, and reduce the pains associated. I am currently undergoing radiation to my lower spine, in hopes of stopping the progression, and prevent further nerve damage, maybe even recover nerve function. Eight low dose radiation treatments altogether. I've undergone 5/8. Side effects this time around, extreme fatigue and nausea.  Of course, I stay on Tagrisso because it continues to work on my brain and the rest of my body. Let's hope radiation works so I can continue on the status quo, for now. Thanks in advance for any positive healing vibes, thoughts and prayers coming my way :). 
P.S. Friends and family, if we've forgotten to forward you our new address, please message us.

  1. Hello I'm Donna Mary, I'm giving a testimony about Dr. Anselm Adodo; the great traditional herbal doctor. He has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my Cancer Disease.
    Cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence even if you have stage IV cancer. For many people, Cancer feels like a death sentence. Doctors tell us that the only way to treat cancer is by using chemo, radiation, or surgery. They pressure us to take standard treatments. We are to believe that we will die if wae don’t use these procedures. Chemo only has an average survival rate of 2% and is often deadlier than cancer itself. The survival rate of stage IV cancer is low when you use standard treatments.
    And then there are natural remedies that seek to treat cancer by fixing the imbalances. This way of treating cancer is frowned upon by doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Many people are afraid of trying natural remedies because there is not much research done.
    Though I went through different website I saw different testimonies about different spell casters and herbalist, I was like: 'Many people have the Cancer cure why are people still suffering from it?'
    I thought of it, then I contact Dr. Anselm Adodo via email, I didn't believe him at first, I just wanted to give him a try, He replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared it (CURE) and sent it to Airfreight Online Courier Service for delivery, he gave my details to the Courier Office, they told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and I took the medicine as prescribed by him and I went for check-up 2 weeks after finishing the medicine, I was healed of Cancer, If you are a CANCER Patient, I would like you to contact him; and I will try my possible best to make sure that everyone infected with any diseases are cured. When you contact him, make sure you tell him that I referenced you...
