Anniversary
Mother’s Day last year is when the pRCC diagnosis was confirmed. Many of the stats use this diagnosis
date. Others use the start of treatment
date. My pRCC was discovered
inadvertently, which makes my odds better. And, of course, stats are stats and they don’t
mention any individual. What we all want is prognostication which includes us; that's the rub.
I’m adapting to Sutent and the chronic conditions. What’s the alternative to adapting? Well, it’s
not so clear. There are degrees of
adaptation. I’m adapting moderately
well, in my estimation, and furthermore, I’m still here and kicking.
I haven’t even gone to the workshops on living with chronic
conditions. Maybe next week. Wednesday will be the end of this 4 week
treatment and then the Oncologist will do an evaluation, just to make sure I’m
ok for the next 4 week stint. So it
goes. But (Galileo forgive me)…but, it
still goes.
