Houston who is battling cancer posts recently on her blog, www.helphoustonfight.com: Today my daughter and i went to our favorite spot "church". The message felt like it was said just for me,it was surreal.
I am doing fine today I have a little back pain but a cold compress made it feel much better. I have a conference call monday with the doc at City if Hope that performed my surgery and my parents to discuss if I should stay on the Interferon or not.
The side affects from the drug are alot to handle and I just dont know if the percentages of reoccurance out way my quality of life. It has been very tough even with the lower dose and 3xweek.Do I stay on the drug for another 10 months and be ill or do I have faith that I got it all and will be healed? at this point I am not sure.
If its not going to increase my survival for sure, I mean no one knows for sure then really, why should I be miserable on this drug? I am going to ask to get a p.e.t scan earlier than jan. That will help me. I went in on Friday for a throat culture and blood drawn.
I have never had a throat culture it was terrible i thought I was going to vomit on the nurse. Its going on the 3rd week of my sore throat. I will know white blood cell count and results from culture monday. Today I feel I will beat this!!! with or without Interferon.
