The time has come once again (sigh)...

Well, the time has come for those dreaded 3 month scans. Boy, do I get anxious about a week or two before! These last few weeks have been super busy and exhausting and even though I'm trying my best to take care of myself, I wonder sometimes if I'm pushing too hard. A couple of weeks ago I was feeling down and out over a weekend, not totally sick, just really wiped out. About that same time, I noticed some MILD pressure in my chest--around the bottom of my sternum and top of my ribcage. Of course, not having had a lot of experience with heartburn, I wasn't sure if that's what it was OR IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. Because my tumors had been in my lungs, I had to wonder, "Was it a tumor?" I knew that the likely answer to this question was no, but going through Stage 4 Melanoma, I have learned that you never say never and you never rule IT out. The good thing is that the pressure I was feeling did go away, but then it came back again, and then went away...So, who knows? I guess I will find out tomorrow! EEK!

For now, it is out of my control. All I can do is remain positive, hopeful, and continue to have faith in the plan that God has for me. Wish me luck!

And the quote of the day...
