FULL OF FURY eveViews: 191

it’s the night before angel’s fourth treatment of the folfiri, and what makes tonight more crucial than any other is that tomorrow she’ll have a ct scan to see how she is responding to this second line of treatment. as you all know, she didn’t respond to the first line of defense of the folfox. so tomorrow is more vital than ever. this has to take. but why wouldn’t we think it hasn’t? already (knock on something) in the past month, she’s experiencing less pain other than the occasional stomach cramping, and the acne-like side effect from the cetuximb which indicates the medicine is working, the positive lab results, her wonderful physical appearance, better appetite, all we can imagine is something is working. i am positive in thought and everything in my body and soul that it is. so when the morning arrives, no matter what you might be doing or whatever time zone you might be residing in, at 8am pst leave yourself a minute to think and send your positive energy, prayers, chants while angel is undergoing her ct scan. sorry i’m posting this so late, and i know i really should’ve done this a few days ago to remind, but i know we have all been thinking positive thoughts for some time now so it’s okay i posted so late. all my best and love to you all.
