Hi everyone, it’s me again. I just wanted to let my friends and family know that I am now finished with radiation! I finished last week, and even got a neat little certificate of completion from my friends at the radiation center. I go back to both Dr. Shertz and Dr. Buck in the next few weeks to schedule my next CT/MRI to see where I stand.
I did call Dr. Shertz lab yesterday to find out my tumor marker levels. They were 3.0 on the alpha-feta protein, and less than 2 on the HCG. This is the lowest they have ever been. Things are finally starting to improve for me. Kobie is sick with the flu right now, and I hope he gets better soon. I hate seeing my little buddy sick. I plan on returning to work on March 23rd if all goes well. I am going to go up there and talk to our HR person next week probably, to find out what all I need to do to return, or just get a doctors release. I am excited about going back because I miss my work family.
The next exciting thing to let you all know about, is that I am finally getting the Livestrong Army of Virginia off of the ground. I have developed a website for it, and it can be found at http://www.livestrongva.org so please check it out and pass it on. If you’d like to get involved with the campaign, please use the “contact us” button on that page to find out how to contact me to get started! Thank you all again for sticking by my side through all of this. All of your thoughts and prayers are working! 🙂 I’ll post more as more becomes available.
