Outlook on Life

At my initial dx and treatment, Stage 1c3, at age 65 I was hopeful and tolerated surgery and chemo quite well. Approximately 20 months later a new tumor grew in lower pelvic area requiring surgery/chemo once again. Lots of complications with chemo. Then in November 2022 a new tumor found in the same area but not yet of a size to biopsy. I am headed for radiation the end of March 2023 at age 68. My outlook is this…. I am GOOD till I’m not. I had already started working with a Palliative/Pain Management doctor prior to this 3rd round of cancer. I had my Will and other documents prepared before even my 1st cancer diagnosis. Now I’m planning what I want done with many of my possessions. Jewelry, sewing stuff, quilts I’ve made etc while I am able to think clearly. I never do things “last minute”. It is my way of coping. I let people know any updates on my condition but they all pretty much know I just don’t want to talk about it especially in person because I cry and I don’t want them to feel bad. I feel as though I am handling it pretty well…so far.
