Results are in!

Today was my appointment with the oncologist. As I travelled into the city, with Heather and Anne on board I had zero hope that the results would be back, nor was I worried about them still.

I’ve fallen into some peace filled existence when it comes to my health, I can’t explain it and I find it a little strange…. is it acceptance over whatever happens? I could feel the day it happened, and can vividly remember the exact spot I was standing having a recent conversation with a friend who left this world unexpectedly. It was an instant understanding in my body of something I can’t explain.

As Dr. Lau, the resident Oncologist who is fantastic, compassionate, and thorough entered the room she got straight to the point. The results from the ultrasound are back, and negative for cancer. I heard nothing else over the girls sobs of joy and relief but the suspicious lump, it’s some kind of fat deposit from the surgery. Everyone is relieved. I’ll take a pea sized ball of fat in my armpit over a cancer recurrence any day of the week.

She then proceeded to examine the hand foot syndrome. Hand-foot syndrome (HFS), also known as palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE), is a side effect of some chemotherapy and cancer drugs that causes skin reactions on the hands and feet.

One of these days I’ll feel better, the symptoms will stop, and me and my pea sized ball of fat will feel on the other side of cancer. I doubt I’ll ever look at a pea the same again. 🫛🤪

Well, that’s it for me! Time for some sleep! This princess and her pea are a wee tired!

Love you to bits!
