More Imaging, More Waiting, More Hoping for Anything But Cancer

 


Another spin through the magnet - this time a full spine MRI that took 90 minutes. I understand now why people freak out on the table and refuse scans - it’s really claustrophobic, hot, and painful to lie motionless on your back for that long. 


Another scanxiety, another reckoning with what ifs and please don’t let it be THAT. Compression fractures, pinched nerves, osteoporosis, herniated discs - bring it on.

Just. Not. Cancer. I desperately want to make it to March 1 cancer free - exactly one year having no evidence of disease. One year isn’t a long time, and my shitty cancer hides and comes back a lot later, so this isn’t much of an anniversary, but goddamn it one year cancer free is one year cancer fucking free. 

Time to hydrate the gadolinium out of my kidneys!
