We saw our oncologist yesterday. He is giving me 3 more weeks to heal before we talk about going back on the hard meds. At that time we will see if thats the route we want to stay on, or if there are any other drug options for us to try. (new stuff is approved or goes into trials daily so we keep our options open) Other than that, he is impressed with my healing as it is as of right now. We scheduled my next set of scans for Dec. 2nd. Then we will see the doctor Dec. 4th. So we will be able to see whats happened since we stooped the meds, and see if anythings grown or shrunk. So 3 more weeks of rest! Just what I wanted. (no sarcasm here I want to be back as close to 100% as possible before starting back anything)
I have PT today. (any time now actually) Then I think Im going to take a nap. Im still not feeling great. My tummy has decided to rebel after 1 bite of food or so. It just deciders that Im no longer hungry, and if I push it and try to eat I get nauseous. So Ive been drinking a ton of water. Im thinking this is just a phase of flushing meds out. Ive been weaning off the steroids so they play a part in all this too.
On a lighter note, my dad gets back from China today!! Its nice to have everyone home. We are planning a trip so now we can get that pinned down. Ive got stuff I want to do before the holiday but it involves getting family all pinned down on dates. Between everyone that wants to go, it makes it challenging but we are working on it. My big criteria was to be able to get up out of a chair/toilet by myself before we planned anything. Now, thanks to pt, I can do that! So planning has commenced!!
Now, off to pt for this girl…..another hour of pushing and some mental cursing….
