Good News for people that love Bad News

Well the hits just keep coming.

Friday prior to my appointment with a Sarcoma Specialist, I got the results on my car. Turned out to be an anti-theft module that is going cost $500 to get fixes. I really don't have any choice sine I am marooned on the island without my car. I definitely see the irony in have to pay so much for an "anti-theft" device.

At the end of my appointment I found out even worse news. The last CT that was performed of my pelvis included about a third of my lungs. Turns out there are at least 6 new tumors in my lungs. A full scan is being scheduled for next week and we'll discuss my options. When the doctor told me the news, my first question was "Is this a death sentence" he said no, but that he couldn't guarantee 5 years at this point. Once Sarcoma has spread to the lungs it becomes harder to deal with and this is quite scary news to hear.

One tearful call home and a shuttle ride later I received my radiation and headed to the Airport. I got into Tulsa at 12:19 this morning. Being home is nice I really missed the kids and Amy. I've got more tough roads to travel but I am feeling ok and I am focused to fight.
