The doctor called Erin yesterday and said it was in her bones; sternum and hip.
She also said it was very slowly progressing and that chemo was not necessary, just a change in hormone (from Tamox).
Ok, so on Friday I'll ask if slowly progressing means from the last set of tests (June-ish) or from the last PET scan (>1 year ago). I am hoping it's the latter.
I mean, either way, we are scared and I feel beaten down into a pulp... but I am oddly calm about it. Maybe God is answering the prayers for less anxiety, maybe the prayers for healing, or maybe it's just knowing, or really maybe it's all of that and knowing that Erin can kick the shit out of anything; especially when we are together.
Erin has said, the hope is in the hormones. I also think it's in the prayers, too, of course. I am not a ball of tears like I have been in the past, but I have decided that this next year is going to be a year of "stuff we haven't been able to do"... like that train trip to Niagara Falls that was supposed to be our honeymoon, but we had to cancel because of chemo the first time... things like that.
