My scan was good.
The oncologist is now scheduling scans every six months instead of every three months.
This is about the only good thing in my life right now, other than a supportive husband. (That means a lot). Social Security is still threatening my benefits. We are getting a guardian ad litem for my mother, who has dementia. I have her health care and durable powers of attorney. However, she beat up on me and ripped my clothes the last time I was there. That is enough...someone else can put up with the crazy. And if you think this is all due to dementia, think again. She has spent a lifetime beating me and telling me she hates me. I don't know why I try to help her.
Anyway, I am doing well in the cancer department. I am thankful for that, and for the support I get here.
I am going to shut up now, rather than overshare any more.

You need some stress reduction in your life, and those are two big ones. 
Hurray on the good scan and for stepping away from a lifetime of abuse from your mother. 
.
What a relief for you.
I am sorry about the mom issue, just hang in there the best you can. The important thing is you and your well being.
Step away from your mother as much as you can.
At this point in your life put yourself and your husband first. Focus on living your best life.
All my best wishes to you.
