Yesterday was my doctor check up day. They said all my blood work looks great. They even went so far as saying "on paper youre healthy-blood wise". Other stuffwe discussed was my stomach issues. We are still trying to get me to a normal type of living on these drugs. So we are back to trying new meds so I can get this under control.
We scheduled scans for next week! Finally, we will get an updated look at how the cancer is doing vs my meds. If its stable or better I stay on the meds. If its worse I get off the meds. There is no point in taking them if they dont work. That and they are pricey. I cannot imagine what peopke without insurance would do. My insurance pays 18,000 a month just for those pills. (Insane) I really do think we need a national helthcare option.
So I have a new rant this week. Ellen D. Announced on her show "the coolest sunburn contest". What the heck people!? We are back to promoting not using sunblock and even prompting tanning bed useage! Meanwhile melanoma patients are dying daily. They might as well throw a contest about looking cool smoking. I swear people dont think. Im determined to write and call ellens 'people' and share my displeasure. We shouldnt make light of this. The harm of 1 burn can ruin your life. Doesnt take much.
So to sum up everything....I fight daily to keep food in me. Otherwise Im doimg pretty good for a cancer patient. :)
