Shield of Faith

A journal of my family's battle with cancer. On December 15th, 2006 I was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. In the spring of 2008, we found evidence the cancer has advanced to stage IV.
I am 38 years old and live in Tucson, Arizona.

Due to a cancellation I was able to get the PET scan moved up to tomorrow (1/2) at 2:30. This is great news because we will have the report back from the scan well before I meet with the oncologist on the 11th.

Right now the most difficult part of the process is waiting. I am anxious because I know this cancer is inside me growing and I have to wait in order to get the treatment started. Colon cancer is considered a very slow growing cancer, so I have been told that waiting a couple of weeks will not matter.

I am also going to try and get a blood test done tomorrow. My fatigue is noticably worse the past couple of weeks and it has been two months since my last blood test.
