Today was the day we went in for a new MRI. This is our 6 week out from whole brain radiation scan. We had a scan 3 weeks ago, but it was hard to read etc. Tomorrow we will find out the results of todays scan. Hopefully, it will be a much clearer image. It should also show us any progression of whats going on with my tumors. (shrink, grow etc) Its really going to help us with a timeline.
Other than that Im doing as okay as can be expected. Im still really weak, and tired. I joke that I feel like I have the body of an 80 yr old with the mind of a 28 yr old. My joints are killing me due to the meds, along with the weakness in my legs. Its really hard for me to walk much these days. Or even stand too long. My legs are just too weak from the drugs, and simple side effects from radiation etc. Its crazy really. We are getting me a wheelchair, and I now have a walker too. Im super excited for a wheelchair! Means I can get out and about again. Its driving me nuts basically confined to a recliner at home. We did get a handicap tag for the car too this week. That will help us greatly as well. My joke was "how many moms of toddlers get up close parking!!??" Hey, Im looking at the bright side of everything!
I did finally do one thing Ive wanted to do for a while. I scheduled myself a massage. They have special ones for cancer patients at my oncologist. They specialize it to your needs etc. Im super excited for it.
So new updates tomorrow. Plus Im working on a special post from this weekend...stay tuned.
