The end of October....

Things have been pretty good lately, well for the most part. I went to the Dr yesterday for a follow up. I asked why I am so dizzy he took my blood pressure and it is low 94/63 so he told me to eat salt on my meals. If it works I will try it for a little bit, nothing to lose.

I also asked him about the medicine my oncologist prescribed for my CT scan next week. He told me it was for my kidneys. I asked why as I hadn't had it before, he informed me that for the past couple months when they do my blood work my creatine levels have been high. What this means is my kidneys have been having a hard time functioning since the chemo. They are supposed to produce creatine but usually between 55 - 60, my levels are 90 - 100 not so good :( . I asked what I can do apparently not much just drink water it helps them to filter. So here's to trying to get my kidneys functioning better.

It is amazing how the chemo affects so many other things. Still working on feeling "normal" hoping it gets back to that soon enough.

Well take care, I go to see my oncologist tomorrow for a follow up. Then I have a CT scan next week on Nov 6th.

Happy Fall!

Radiation Oncologist....All Clear

I met with the Radiation Oncologist today and she said it looks like everything thing is healing nicely. She told me she hopes to not have to see me again. I am hoping for the same, I am starting to feel better I am definatley on the road to recovery.

Next week I will see my doctor and my Oncologist. I have a CT scan booked for Nov 6th. I'll update again soon.

Luv you all!

October already...

Thank you to everyone who supported the run for the cure on Sunday, September 30th it was a fantastic day. When I did the run 5 years ago for my mom it was a very emotional day. I never thought after standing in the field with tears in my eyes as I watched the survivors parade that it would be me 5 years later in that parade. I had a great day on Sunday and am thankful that I am a survivor and was able to walk in the run for the cure with my family and friends.

October is starting out to be a beautiful month the weather is amazing. Marcel and I are camping up at Chilliwack Lake this week and are going to enjoy Thanksgiving up there with Richard, Tammy and the kids.

I went to the oncologist today I guess things are going good nothing to report really. She asked how I was doing and I told her I can't get rid of this silly cough I have had for almost 8 weeks. She sent me for a chest xray and gave me a prescription for cough medicine. Hopefully it goes away soon, I see her again on Halloween.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
