September

Welcome to September

This is the month that really wants to be fall but just can’t let summer go.

We started out with cool crisp nights that segued into another round of hot, smoky days. Thunderstorms sparked new fires. Ah the summer way!

I had an MRI the other day that did not show the results I had been planning on. Instead of showing no evidence of disease, I have new lesions. This means the immunotherapy that I have been doing since March is not working. We, being my oncologist and me of sorts, have some research to do. I will no doubt have several other doctors to talk with. Options are out there in secondary chemotherapy drugs, possible clinical trials. I am determined to get through this thing and be productive for the next 30 years!

Part of my homework is to dive into a refresher course on Joe Dispenza’s work. I have always liked his approach to meditation, I find it resonates with me. Time to focus on the inner world and give my body a boost in exterminating cancer. If my body allowed the cancer to exist, then I can make it go away too.

I thought I would be planning a sketching trip to the UK right now, but learning that chemo didn’t do what it should have, has once again presented me with another left turn onto a path I have not anticipated. Sort of a one step forward and two back situation right now. It will happen, just not on the time line I had been thinking of.
