I had an appointment this morning with my Lupus specialist. I thought I would have a chemo treatment in Nov.. one in Feb and then be done. He is thinking about extending that. He is going with the better safe than sorry attitude and I understand that. There are very few cases of what I have gone through and so there really is no written prescription.. but the cases he has studied have had success with longer treatments. But I am already the exception to the rule because I responded very well and very quickly to initial treatments. We came to a decision that after Feb. chemo he would do another MRI and see what the spine looks like and see if there is any more central nervous system damage present. He needs to do another MRI anyway before sending my " story" to the medical journals.We joked today that I didnt need to do any balance tests in his office because the fact that I showed up wearing high heels was enough for him. I was upset for about 30 sec and then I just turned it over to God. I have two choices... cry or pray. Of course I wish for no more chemo.. it has taken a toll on me but if it is what I need to put this disease into another remission then so be it. It means putting some plans we had off for another year if more chemo is planned but just being alive for another year is a gift from God. Pray that I can continue to have this faith and that I remember daily that keeping stress at a minimum and not worrying about what may be will be the best thing I can do to help with a good MRI.. crying and worrying will just cause me to flare and that is never good.God already knows what the outcome is going to be. the only thing I can change is how I handle it and what I learn from it. So pray that I focus on that. Thanks ladies.

You know I am praying for you my friend!
