I called first thing this morning and found out my insurance had approved the scan. The scan was uneventful and went well. Unfortunately, Tom had to sit in the car because they’re not letting anybody but patients in. That was a bit of a bummer.
(more…)I am scheduled for a CT scan tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1 pm, as long as my insurance has approved it by then. We have new insurance and this is my first scan with them, so I’m not sure how quickly they approve things. Plus, nothing is normal right now, anywhere!!
(more…)I talked with my oncologist on the phone today, instead of having an in-person appointment. To sum it up quickly, I am going to go back on the chemo pill (Piqray) but only a half dose.
(more…)While today started off really rough with nausea and throwing up, this afternoon and evening has been a little bit better. I’m very thankful for that. I’m feeling a little bit nauseous right now, but just took something for it about a half hour ago. I pray that will help.
(more…)Today was even harder than yesterday. Zofran didn’t take care of the nausea and I actually threw up. I also had some diarrhea. Sorry if that’s too much information. It’s been a day.
(more…)The last few days have been really hard. Even though I’m sleeping a full night and sleeping well, I wake up and I’m still so tired. Yesterday I took three naps and really was not out of bed much. Today I was so weak I was out of bed even less. I needed to take a shower, and was so concerned about falling that I had Tom in there with me the whole time just to be safe.
(more…)Don’t worry…the only reason I left the house was to go to the infusion center. Believe it or not, I was excited to go, because it meant I could be somewhere besides my house. I wasn’t quite as excited when I got the shots or they poked me for the IV, but I did have my favorite nurse Toni, and I always love chatting with her. She said my labs looked good and the infusion and shot went well. We also met with my palliative care nurse and talked a little bit about back pain management and some ideas on how to get my energy up.
(more…)That question was asked by numerous people in our home today. I have a feeling it will be asked almost every day and we will lose track of what day it actually is while we are hanging out at home all the time!
