Saw Dr. Keohan on Tuesday and she agreed that my scans look clear. She did request that my August scans be performed at MSKCC because she wants a better picture of the hypodensity in my liver. She said she did not find it suspicious but wanted to be able to see it better, so she's ordering an extra scan of the liver. From what I've been told, the barium solution there is more like raspberry Crystal Light, which would be a HUGE improvement over the "berry smoothie" solution Jersey Shore uses.
I see Dr. Healey on Monday for a follow up. I think he will keep me in the AirCast for another 6-8 weeks, especially since I haven't done any eversion/inversion work on my foot with weight. I've been moving my foot around on a little wobbleboard while I'm sitting, but to really reteach the muscles to support my ankle, I need to be standing on the board. I don't know how much I'm looking forward to that, but I will be glad when I can stop wearing the AirCast -- especially now that the warmer weather has arrived.
Will post another update next week!

About Me
- Karen
- I am a woman in her late 40s who was enjoying life when cancer came along and threw a monkey wrench in the whole business. This is the story of my fight against Leiomyosarcoma, a rare smooth muscle cancer that started in my left fibula (ankle bone) and has since spread to my pelvic bone, skull, and lungs. It's also the story of a woman trying to continue to enjoy life despite the complications cancer causes.
