Right, this is the story so far:
At the moment I am refusing treatment. About 6 weeks ago I had three night sweats in a row, and night sweats are always the first sign of cancer for me. So I got all worried and got a scan at the hospital. The results showed that there was 'something' there. The doctors were very much 'maybe it's back'. Either way they wanted me to begin that very intense chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. I said that I would have it. However, since that point I have had no more night sweats, I am not fatigued, and I'm not losing weight so I've put my treatment on hold. I don't want to go through all that on a 'maybe'. Additionally, I have been doing a little bit of research (as in I typed into Google!) and around that time I started to get a fungal infection in my hands and feet as a result of my lowered immune response due to previous chemotherapies. I still have it today and it's proving to be a pain to get rid of since it only shows up in certain spots but is in fact throughout my body. Anyway, fungal infections can cause night sweats and enlargement of lymph nodes. Based on that I want to wait and see what happens. In the mean time I am on homeopathic remedies and more to try and clear this up. It's been and is being a difficult time again as I can't seem to shake off the 'in limbo' situation of having (had) cancer. But I am learning to live with it and I'm having a really good time in my life right now.
I am also going to see the Slackers on Sunday! Can't wait.
