quick update and Happy Thanksgiving!

Not a lot of new info...it's the waiting game again. However, I did meet with my radiation oncologist to discuss radiation to this new area of pain in my ribs. Because I am back on pain meds, it is hard to decipher where the pain is actually coming from. Therefore, he recommends a bonescan before proceeding with more radiation. I have an appt for the scan on the friday after Thanksgiving. Also, he was not worried at all about the potential mark they saw on my lung either...phew! He showed me the xrays and I was barely able to see it. When he zoomed in at a different angle, it had disappeared completely. I was very relieved. I also got my bone infusion last week to help strengthen the bones and hopefully shrink the lesions more. I was glad to get that taken care of.

So, other than that I've been laying pretty low, hanging with friends a bit, but mostly reading, meditating and resting.

I feel very compelled to go on a spiritual getaway, so my mom and I are planning a trip to Sedona, AZ on her winter break. And I am also researching and planning a trip to Cusco, Peru in early April.

I feel an enormous sense of freedom already just by planning these trips. It allows me to escape from the endless chatter going on in my head and focus on exciting adventures for my soul. Interesting that this is what my horoscope said today...

"A rested mind gives us the ability to remain calm during uncertain circumstances and provides the clarity and insight to make wiser decisions. While feelings of anxiety are often caused by fear, we can make matters worse by obsessing over our anxious thoughts, creating an ongoing cycle of tension. By choosing instead to release our fearful thoughts and give our minds a rest, we free ourselves from the bonds of fear and empower ourselves with clear thinking processes that can help us devise solutions to problems and make more lucid decisions. Choosing to focus on the peaceful stillness within you today can neutralize your anxiety and restore a sense of balance again."

God sure has impeccable timing! :)

Wishing everyone a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Be sure to share what you are thankful for! Gratitude will always create the pathway to many more blessings!

Lots of love and light,
