In the run up to scan results day yesterday, it was all deep breaths and distractions. Time again became kairos, all about qualitative time. Taking each moment and enjoying every part of it. Anxiety lurked underneath, but was kept in check with deep breaths and wonderfully distracting friends.

Despite forgetting to check in and waiting an extra hour and a half for the appointment, it brought with it good news and a liberal dose of DrPs analogies. In short Treatment is working and my body is responding well. The scan from Wednesday was compared to the initial diagnosis scan, DrP whizzing in and out of those side by side as we all watched with our breath held waiting for his conclusions. The lung was the biggest surprise, the metastisis there in the initial scan is now barely there in Wednesday’s.

There is also obvious shrinkage in my liver and ovaries. So the news is good. Hope has prevailed and prayers, so many prayers, have been answered…

The journey remains long and there are 6 more rounds to do of this initial Treatment. But with the walking and sunnier days on the horizon, it gives me renewed hope for the 3 next months ahead.

More Kairos. Kairos is not measured by the accumulation of minutes, but by the “rightness” of a moment. It is a frequency shift: moving from a life lived for the next milestone to one lived for the morning light of the bedroom window or the connection held in a single conversation. In this state, time is no longer a resource to be spent, but a medium in which to dwell with hope.

With love and hope 🧡
