I really don't have much to report, but I thought I would write and ask you to come back later this afternoon to see what the results was from both my appointments. I've added to the list another thing to talk to the doctor about. Over the Holidays I've been tired, have a backache on the right side mostly, have an urgency to go to the bathroom and yesterday started having a burning when I went to the bathroom....the urine is cloudy and strong smelling, so all those symptoms match that of a bladder infection. So hopefully the doctor will do a urine test and prove me right. I just put it all together yesterday when I went to have Qigong session with Sheila Judd...as I was telling her about all that was going on. More later. m
Hi, Dr. Londer (oncologist) is as frustrated as we all are. But says this is a cancer that is difficult to rid yourself of. He also said I looked great. Also frustrating is that Mayo's report and recommendations hasn't gotten to them yet....but they will track it down before they start chemo next Tuesday. I also told him of the symptoms I was having and that I had self diagnosed myself with a bladder infection. He said no problem he would send in a prescription for that without even waiting for the results of the urine sample. Then I headed for Coon Rapids HP and Dr. Norquist the GP to talk to him about my RLS (restless leg syndrome) and between the RLS and my neuropathy in my feet, he is taking me off the narcotics (Oxycodone) and replacing it with a drug called Neurotin (not a narcotic) and works to relieve the pain by blocking the nerves....or something like that. So between that and the antibiotic for the urinal tract infection, I should be feeling a lot better soon. That and the Qigong session I had last night should really help.
I know you all worry about me, but....we will beat this thing!!! So keep those thoughts and prayers coming. Love ya, m
