@jenelleseaman I am in awe of how you accept the inevitable, as you refer to it, and demonstrate a certain calmness. Perhaps your case is a bit of an experiment and yet your oncologist who you have worked with for many years is not only the "investigator" but also a "participant" in this experiment. Your oncologist wisely seeks out collaboration with the other physicians to ensure every avenue has been explored. So, with that, it's wonderful that you can go forward with your commitments, including the HSC Chemistry exam and finish the school year. I say all this knowing that in your situation I would try to do the same with my honored commitments but inside I would be freaking out. That's how I felt, anyway, when I had a recurrence of endometrial cancer four years ago.

I'll check back in with your here in two months and I hope that you will keep me informed about your progress through this next treatment. Can we do that together?
