Trying Not To Think About It...

Scanxiety - The anxious feeling one gets while waiting for their cancer detecting scans.

December 2, 2015 - Colonoscopy.  Chad and I will be traveling to Paris, Tennessee for Dr. Williams to complete his colonoscopy. The hope is that, of course, everything is clear in there but also to determine if there is scar tissue or twisting causing Chad the intense cramping discomfort. 

December 3, 2015 - CT Scan (With and Without Contract). We will be headed to Marion, Illinois for the scan, followed by an appointment with Chad's oncologist, Dr. V. The hope is that his scans come back 100% clear without any evidence of disease. In the cancer world, that's referred to as NED.

Aside from a sinus/head cold Chad can't shake (again) he is getting by. He can't take medications to treat the cold because they make him dizzy and nauseous. He had to come home early one day this week because he was so sick.

We also have some additional stress dealing with large medical bills that the VA is declining but we're still working on those, so we'll take them one day at a time.

For now, I am thankful for another day and as always - we appreciate your love, prayers and support :)
