Another 3-month follow-up

I just got back from the Cancer Center and my 3-month follow-up, getting blood drawn and vitals, and meeting with Dr. Basche. She was happy to see that my energy level is good, the numbness in my feet MAY be getting a little better, and my other issue I had after my hook-up is very much under "control" and that may weight is back up (130-"ish") My blood counts look good, but the tumor marker results will be available Thursday (if they get them back on time). Again, the comparison of the 2 previous CT-scan indicate that the spots on my liver are likely benign cysts, and nothing to be concerned about because there was no growth in a year.

There was one thing mentioned today that I hadn't heard before, and that was there's something in my uterus that showed up on the last CT-scan, but they're very sure it's just inflammation from the radiation, and because I had chemo recently I was assured it's probably not cancer - BUT to get an appointment for an ultrasound from my OBGYN. Which I just did. So, I now have more Dr. appointments lined-up: A mammogram on 2/4; uterine ultrasound on 2/25; my next CT-scan on 4/27; and the next 3-mo. visit w/ Basche on 5/4.

Doug is visiting his mother in the nursing home in Illinois, so my friend Ola came with today. She was able to see the facility including the radiation and infusion rooms. I got a little emotional when I revisited some of the things I'd gone through in there. I introduced her to many of the nurses after I got some big hugs from them - and even Rick & Scott were there, Rick getting his 50th chemo treatment, praying that this last ditch effort finally helps him.

So that's it for now, and I send this reminder once again, if you haven't done so, please get your colonoscopy......... It saves lives!
