Another Negative


 Not much to report today. The fatigue has hit hard. I have to go get Hannah’s car from the shop and that is going to be tough. . No lie, we have spent about $4,000 on car repairs in the last 6 weeks. I still need to get mine into to check it out, but it will have to wait. My plan is to get the car around noon…just waiting on Hannah. Then my goal is to chill on the couch the rest of the day. I did tell her she must take me for a walk later…even if I don’t want to go. 

Good news! My 2nd ctDNA test is still negative! So far surgery and chemo have done their jobs.

What is Wrong with me?

 What is wrong with me? To figure this out, we are going to go back...way back. Ok, not really...only about a year. Chances are if you are reading this, you know that I like to run. Well...I have a love/hate relationship with running. I love doing it and the way it makes me feel, but I hate getting started. Back in 2023 I was running 80-100 miles a month until I got busy during the "holiday season." However, even during that season, I could just get up and go for a 5-7 mile run with no issues. Fast forward to February 2024. Running was hard. Then rodeo season started and I got busy. Then at the end of March, running was harder. It was frustrating. I could not run a full mile without stopping and feeling like I was going to die. I couldn't breathe. My body hurt. I have had issues with exercise induced asthma in the past, so I called my doctor and we refilled my inhaler, which I hadn't needed for years. It didn't help. I spent several days every week trying to get i...

The time in between...

 So now what? I was told I have colon cancer. I had a CT scan done and got those results. The GI doctor called me with the pathology results. No surprise, the mass was cancerous. I will leave out the specifics of the pathology report, but will say that it did not show signs of being a genetic thing called Lynch Syndrome.  So, I wait... Those that know me well, know that I don't wait well. My mom said that I was born early and hit the ground running and haven't stopped since. Well, I am now on a forced stop. See there is this holiday called Thanksgiving. As you can see from my dates on the 1st post, it is near Thanksgiving. Nothing happens on that week, which is why all of my next appointments don't happen until December. I was left with my own thoughts, worries, and fears (yes, I will admit that I have those) for about 10 days. Actually, more than that, but at this point I was just moving to the next appointment.  It was during this time that I started wondering...what di...

The First of Many Tests

 Still feeling a little shell shocked from the previous day, I headed back to the hospital for my CT scan. I got all checked in. Then a nurse brought me out a 32 oz cup with a contrast solution in it for me to drink...within the next hour.  I was making decent progress on the drink. However, there was a lady in the waiting room talking on her phone. She was loud and it was on speaker phone. It was horrible. We all knew her life story, which churches she went to, different people in her life who had changed churches, the reasons for the change, and so much more. She never stopped to breathe. In all honesty, I did not know it was on speaker phone until the very last caller when I heard the person get a chance to speak. The nurse called her back, but she remarked that she had not finished the drink. The people around me were thrilled for her to be called back. I may have made a comment about her not finishing the drink because she never stopped talking long enough to drink. The 3...
