I have a plan!!

I took a deep breath, unaware that I had even been holding it. As the doctor told me “your kidney functions have improved, and you won’t need chemotherapy”, I felt lightness enter my body once again as he continued explaining the labs and treatment plan. For the first time I had a firm treatment plan. Yes it involves months of heavy duty medications, countless lab visits, and routine visits with the doctor who thankfully unraveled it all before my kidneys completely gave out on me. I have a plan!! I like a plan, it puts me in control and provides an end game. I am a list maker, instilled by my mother, and handed down to me and my sisters. We can’t start a project, or plan a big event without a list. Occasionally sitting down together to make a list when a big event looms on the horizon, and yes we fully realize we have a problem. But I digress, the fact is the doctor just handed me some very good news , and my plan is to get this thing in remission and move on. I kinda love that plan!
