I’m off to the doctor, my year-end report.
Infusion for bone, and a new 3-month shot.
My ECHO and heart took a downturn this time,
But human error could occur-I still may be fine.
A MUGA is ordered for a second check-
I’ve met my deductible, so what-the-heck?
Those results will compare with the ones from before to determine the treatments—less or more?
My CT results show no evidence of new disease,
But the spine’s T7 and T8 still have compressive deformities.
MRI-no evidence of intracranial metastases,
Just some chronic white matter changes, most likely accelerated from radiation therapy.
On this, Dr. Fleener has a low level of concern.
The next MRI would be one from which to learn.
As I reflect on the year and all we’ve gone through,
I’m humbled at blessings and miracles, too.
May 2017 go down without another fight.
Happy new year, and may cancer stay out of sight!
