I get asked a lot about how I have been doing with my cancer and all.
Two months to the day I had my surgery, I started feeling pain right where they took the tumor out. It worried me and kept me up at night so I called my family doctor and went to see him about my concerns. He was quite positive that I just needed to start rehabilitating my leg a bit and suggested that I either see a physiotherapist or start biking slowly and doing knee exercises to strengthen my leg muscles.
I am doing x-rays in July to check if there are any signs of the cancer, and will be seeing my doctor in Calgary in August to discuss the results of those x-rays.
Somehow, I have been looking forward to this. It will certainly put my mind at ease. Although I have faith, and am filled with hope, it will be lying to say that, "fear" of recurrence of this cancer is never in the back of my mind. While I do not think of it daily, it occasionally finds its way back in my thoughts and makes me wonder what the future has in store for me.
I am grateful everyday that my trial was short and my "fight" so small that I try as much as I can to live life fully, well at least try to. Life is good!
PS: LMS stands for Leiomyosarcoma.
