From my 2024 archive:
This was going to be my year. My year of finally feeling back to myself, starting an exercise plan now that I’m fully recovered from my most recent surgery. Starting to feel like I could finally get back to my “normal” life about a year and a half after finishing chemo and a year after finishing my Herceptin/Perjeta regimen. Just signed up for a couple of 5K’s occurring in the Spring to motivate myself.
But a part of me knew it once again wasn’t meant to be. I had so much hope that my “New Year’s cleanse” from my colonoscopy prep would be the starting point for my exercise plan and goal to eat a healthier diet. Instead, I’m sitting here wondering why I even bother. Yes, it’s a pity party and probably will be until I get my results and get my ass in gear for whatever is next.
But right now, on this Friday night, the 3 centimeter polyp cut from the right side of my colon awaits the testing that will tell me if I now have colon cancer. And hopefully, will provide additional information as to whether my gut feeling is correct, and I have Lynch Syndrome.
I’ll delve into that a little more in a future post, but for now my weekend will be filled with my version of “scanxiety” No catchy term for awaiting pathology results that I’m aware of, so I tried to come up with one.
I think I like “pathology-xiety” the best. Has a certain ring to it, LOL. Tell me if you have a better one!
Here is my thought of gratitude for today. As of last week, my colonoscopy was being pushed back from February to June. I expressed my concern about that and was able to get it moved up to today. Those 5 months may have made a huge difference in the outcome of this. And for that I am grateful <3
