This is day 8 of the new medication and I’m feeling pretty good. There have been two times my entire body has been throbbing pretty badly, but so far no depression and I’m very thankful for that. I’m tracking how I’m feeling and what my activity has been around the time I’ve started to hurt. We’ll see what the next week holds.
I have a bone density test on Wednesday, which I believe is only x-rays. AND I am able to have it done in Covington so I don’t have to drive up to Valley Medical Center. 🙂 Yay!
I have a PET scan scheduled for Thursday October 6th at 9:30am (check in a 8 am). Please pray that I won’t be anxious about this scan and that I won’t feel sick since I can’t eat anything 12 hours prior.
I will get the results back from the scan on October 18th at my next oncology appointment. That’s a long time to wait…I might send the Dr. a message to see if he can call with the results earlier.
Still more Dr. appointments than I would like, but at least I feel like I can do other things instead of just going to the Dr. 🙂
Continuing to pray with you.
Praising God with you and for you!
Will be praying that the meds continue to control the depression, that you will be at peace before your test and that you will be able to turn it all over to the Lord and wait in peace for results. You are a strong lady of faith and are surrounded by many people of faith who are on this journey with you. Your test dates are on my calendar. HE IS YOUR ROCK!!! Think of you so often. Still waiting for things to settle down here at my house and then we can schedule a lunch.
I look forward to that!!
I’ll be praying that everything goes smooth and the results are encouraging. Praying that the aches and pains go away too. God is with you always! XOXO
Bone density tests are the easiest tests in the world. You just lay down in this machine that is completely open and you’re scanned from underneath. It’s very fast compared to everything else we have to do! I get scanned every three years, not because of cancer, but because my Mom and Grandma had curved spines when they were older.
Do you have My Chart? They can send you the teat results quickly with that. So glad pain is better!! Another answer to prayer!!
I do have MyChart, but certain test results (like mammograms and PET Scans) do not show up in there. 🙁 I emailed the Dr. to see if we can chat on the phone about the results or if I can schedule the appointment sooner!
Sounds like a good way to resolve the issue. Am still praying!! Have a great day!!
Good to hear you are getting better results from the new medicine! Continuing to pray for all!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Praying for good test results!!
