Happy New Year 2014

Well, it's been a year since I last blogged. The last time I wrote I was on chemotherapy. A lot has happened since then. The chemo stopped working and I took a "chemo break" and switched to more anti-estrogen shots since my cancer feeds off estrogen and had spread to my liver and ribs/chest. However, for a time, the shots worked. I should also add that I became vegan against my doctor's advice. What can I say? I like being a contrarian. The tumors started shrinking and then stabilized. I became a pescatarian. And then my vision started changing. I started seeing double. I went to an optometrist who recommended I get a brain MRI and sure enough, when all was said and done I had about a dozen tumors in my brain. I am currently having my whole brain radiated. Cancer in the brain does not have a good prognosis, but I'm gonna fight this. I won't bow down. My radiologist thinks I have a good chance for long-term control because the tumors aren't large. The biggest is 1.5cm. That's the update!
