On the other, I feel like I’ve earned the extra time. And if I’ve earned any extra time, I’ve earned it doing what I’ve done; treatment, routine, frequency – diagnosis-to-date. The last thing I want to do is change what I’ve been doing. It got me this far, farther than my oncologist anticipated/advised on Feb. 27, 2009, so why would I want to change? I don’t think I do but, apparently change is exactly what’s coming; it’s happened already. No chemotherapy this week. Hopefully, it’s a change for the better. But I’d rather not hope, I’d rather know. (So would the doctors.) I’d rather be moni- tored as closely as I have, not as closely as future symptoms dictate. Being asymptomatic – so far, has been a blessing. As I consider/ anticipate the future, my fear is, now it will become a curse.
