Hello everyone,
I have not been on lately but I have been trying to keep up with everyone. I received my chemo last wed. I also got my vit.B12 shot and the flu shot. Everything was going ok until Sunday night. Came home from the movies with my son and went right to bed. I ended up in the er room with the same symptoms I had the beginning of oct. I had a lot of pain in my chest and couldn't breathe.
This time I didn't have to stay over because x-rays and ct scans all looked the same. I had no fever and no cough.
I had a appt. for blood work on Wed. At that time I was still not well. I had a headache, stomache, nausea, pain in chest, always tired and out of shape. They gave my some kind of steroid and anti-nausea pills. Oh yeh, all my blood work was wonderful!
I have a appt. with my oncologist on Tuesday morning. Just not sure why I felt so sick?
I have been fighting this cancer now for 1 1/2 years. I am so thankful that all the cancer in my lymph nodes are down to nothing and the tumor in my lung has not changed. But man, I get so frustrated with all this. I plan my life around cancer 24 hours a day. I can't do this or that because I am never sure how I will feel. And then trying to keep up with everyone...phew it's exhausting.
I guess I am just tired off being in the middle of not being to sick but still not well enough to be NED. I just want it to be my turn to be NED for years and years for my husband, my boys, stepchildren, mom, and all my other family.
I have a wonderful family who helps me out and are always here cheering me on.
Well, this journal turned out to be me venting. Thanks so much for reading this and you are all in my prayers!
Have a wonderful night and sleep well all,
Barb
