Well. Hello. Hi there. Howdy…. I’ve been negligent about posting!

So sorry – been busy LIVING!

Quick update since last we spoke.  The stereotactic radiosurgery to C7 & T12 in March went swimmingly well.  I had an MRI in June and those 2 spots appeared stable.  Unfortunately, my PET scan that month revealed increased metabolic activity at L4.  My team had seen the spot before, but because it looked different than the other 2 spots and did not have any metabolic activity associated with it on previous scans we believed it was related to basic wear & tear and not cancer.  However, the increased metabolic activity in that area on the June scan lead us to believe that it was most likely cancer.  No biggie.  I’d still refer to my disease as “metastatic light.”  My team advised stereotactic radiosurgery to the spot on L4 and I was able to have that last month.  I’ll have a PET scan at the beginning of Sept & an MRI mid-October.  Our prayer is that everything will look stable.

Now onto the fun stuff!  Hubs and I were able to go to Alaska with our dear friends Victoria & Martin the first week of July.  The trip was PHENOMENAL!  Weather was perfect. Company was great. Activities were loads of fun. Scenery was amazing.  Here are a few of my favorite pics from the trip. 436 549 01554df2bb274df5aeb23e13671d825cfc364052bd 019e1755c13cc62701aa2ca7a2c6d5c2559b030c47 312 397

About Shannon

I’m starting this blog as a way to keep loved ones informed as I battle breast cancer. However, breast cancer is just a part of my life. It doesn’t get to define me or take over my whole life. If I have to talk all breast cancer all the time, I’ll be going from MD Anderson to Menninger Clinic faster than the speed of light! So, walk with me on this journey, cry with me sometimes, but please, please, please for the love of all things holy, enjoy the silly with me, celebrate the excellent, and focus on the positive!
