I have an appointment with Dr. Nibley, chemo doc, tomorrow morning. I am assuming i will get some blood taken for a CBC and then chit chat with the doctor about the blood test. I think this is just an appointment to squeeze a little more money out of me.
I am healing fast, i have a no feeling in my surgery scar from my first surgery, lymph node removal. The swelling is going down and my stomach is starting to look somewhat 'normal'. My bowels are normal again and i have little to no heartburn. I am having a hard time sleeping without sleep aids. I have been trying not to nap during the day so that i am plenty tired but it's not working. I have stopped menstruating. My friend mentioned she was about to have her period and i remembered I should be having mine about now. I know you ladies out there might be jealous that i don't have a period but i actually miss it. My period was a great reminder of what i was able to do, as a woman, have children. Crazy how a treatment that is trying to save my life kills things in my body that can give life.
Less than two weeks until my pelvic exam. The Dr. Thomson should be able to tell if the cancer is not there. I know no matter what happens i will be able to deal with what is next.
Remember if you have doubt with what your doctor is suggesting to you for treatment that you have options. You have to research it yourself. Much love to all you wonderful people that have been there for me and my family.
