Medical News December 7, 2010

Sorry for waiting an extra day. Tony and I left home at 7:30 AM and didn't get back until after 5:00 PM - alright enough whining ..

RADIOLOGIST CONSULT:

QUESTION - What is it? It is the same ugly aggressive cancer that started in my breast.  Step one is the radiologist and neurosurgeon designing  a plan for radio surgery. Yesterday they built me my very own treatment mask. It is much more dramatic  than the breast, think Impial Storm Troopers.

ONCOLOGIST CONSULT:

QUESTION - Are there other nasty little tumors and lesions in my body? December 14, 2010 I will have some PT body scans to try and find the answer.   The best news would be no evidence of other lesions.

THE CRUTCHES ARE GONE!!!!!!!  The leg is doing great!

How I was able to morph from a 61 year old woman to a 101 year old woman in less than a month.  Amazing.
From  the steroids so  my eyes bug out, my face swells, my stomach puffs and I have this overall frog look. Get a walker.  Be Cranky. I feel like the old women in the song when Bette Middler says hello in there.

Thank you for all your support.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Please tell me about good stuff going on in your world.

Love,

MJ

Hi Mary Jo,
I bet you are a very lovely frog!
Good stuff in my world:
I have been put on option for a 10 page editorial shoot. It may not go through, but it is nice to be put on option.
I went to my friend's magazine party on Saturday. It was snowy and I had to wear my sneakers and skanky legwarmers for the walk there. But nobody saw me loose the legwarmers and change into my gold heels before going in, and the magazine intern hid my sneakers behing the bar!
Like you, I have a beret too. Mine has sequins! I always wanted one, but they were over £20 on Camden Market. I found one the other week for 9.99€ at H&M the other week. I am going to post a picture of it on my facebook page.
