chemo today

More Chemo Today

No Chemo today

Blood counts are too low. I feel fine though.

surgery went well

I got my path report back. it appears this cancer hasn't spread. the tumor was 3.5cm. i think it's difficult to tell if the chemo may have shrunk it or not. i guess i will start more chemo in a couple of weeks. i'm going back to work tommorow(friday) - the surgery wasn't painful...i haven't needed any pain meds at all.

She wants to be my doctor?

I had my pre op appointment today. I don't have a "regular doctor" because I'm usually sick (except for the cancer crap) and once you have all those cancer related appointments who wants another Doc. This preop appt - which should have taken 5 minutes took 90 minutes including the lab and EKG. Does she realize this is not an invasive surgery?

She was giving me the hard sell to be my "primary doctor" ...left me with a weird feeling.............

chemo isn't working

I just found out today that I will be having surgery Monday. My tumor is not responding to the chemo. They are going to remove the offending part, so hopefully it doesn't spread. Sounds like I will be back to work in one week. I will then do a different chemo and finish the rest of the surgery in the fall.

I feel great!

I feel great today. I started feeling at about noon on Sunday….it’s the weirdest thing. Right now I can’t believe how crappy I felt. On Friday I "went to lunch" in the backseat of my car. It was terrible. It wasn't able to lay down for awhile, I think I would have collapsed. I hope that doesn't become a necessity.

crappy chemo

I’m about to leave for work…not sure how long I will last….I might need something stronger than this compazine……I think I will live
