Just when you least expect it, another cancer recurrence

This blog has gotten a bit out-of-date, but it's, unfortunately, time to blow the dust off and devote some time to it again. My cancer has recurred again, and I'll be going through chemo a third time, starting as soon as everyone can get their ducks in a row. I don't have an exact date yet, but it should be within the next three weeks. It's the same cancer as before, uterine adenocarcinoma metasticized to my lungs again, stage IV. It was discovered during my routine annual scan. I've had a biopsy of a nodule that lit up on my PET scan that confirmed the diagnosis. The good news is, the treatment protocol will be the same, and I respond very well to it. While there are many other things I'd rather concentrate on right now...like building our retirement home, which we started earlier this year...there are much worse scenarios I could be facing. My oncologist and I feel very positive about my prognosis, and hopefully in 21 weeks or so, this will just be another one for the books. I'll keep everyone up-to-date as things develop. In the meantime, I'll keep busy trying to find all my hats and scarves for my inevitable hair loss, which will likely happen about three weeks after the first chemo session, if memory serves. Paul and I are also preparing some soups and stews to go in the freezer for those evenings when we won't feel like cooking. For those of you who don't know, Paul retired last month, so he now has two projects: a new house and a wife going through chemo. He's a pretty good sous chef too. So, dear readers, here we go again.
