October 11, 2010

Everyone has been asking me to update the blog so I'll do my best. I went to the oncologist on Friday for a routine check-up. Everything seemed okay. I had blood work that was mostly normal and will just continue with follow-ups, scans, labs, etc. I will get my mediport flushed once a month to keep it patent. If all goes well and everything stays negative, I'll get the port out next April. I also went to another doctor today and he ordered all of the labs and a dexa scan to see if I am a candidate for Reclast. Since I am breaking bones by simply coughing, something needs to be done. I also have an ultrasound ordered for a questionable area in the abdomen, but I refuse to believe it could be anything. So basically, continuous tests and waiting for results. I'm still having LOTS of pain and losing weight. Anna, thank you for the cookies. They look delicious. We enjoyed visiting with Gary. We went to see Karlynn cheer tonight, but the game was called about 10 minutes after we got there because of the storm. Have a good evening, Linda

  1. Too bad K's game got rained out.

    Keep rolling with the DR's appointments - now you have some good reading to take with you for the waiting rooms :) It will be a good day when you get that port out (notice I say WHEN not IF!!!). Keep doing what you're doing, staying positive, and enjoying each day one at a time. We love you and continue to be so proud of you.

    Love
    Shawn, Jen, & Cooper
