I really haven't been ignoring my blog. I would never purposely do that. This is my story on my cancer road, and it is a beautiful ride right now, but not a lot is happening which is incredible!
I saw my oncologist last week. I had "Lucy" flushed and blood drawn through her. Everything looked good. I feel good and I don't feel I have anything wrong with me, especially any type of cancer. I only still have itching, and we addressed it. I now am tripling my medication. She asked me if it made me feel sedated. I have gotten sleepy in the afternoon after I doubled it but didn't realized it was that medication.
After we addressed the itching, I told her I needed to talk to her. We looked each other in the eyes and I told her that God sent her to me and me to her. She smiled her wonderful smile that I have so grown to love. She didn't quite know what to say. I think it made her happy. I started to cry, and with a lump in my throat I couldn't say anything more. Kim finished what I had begun and told her that since it was a month of Thanksgiving, that I had wanted to thank her for everything she had done for me. I will have a CT scan again between Christmas and New Years is what she said. Then I will see her January 6th!
My first day tripling my medication for itching, I felt like a zombie. I really felt sedated and like I couldn't drive or anything. I was tripling it three times a day. I realized that I can't triple it at work or away from home.
On the way home from her office, I recalled the first several weeks into my cancer and remembered how sick I used to get and how sometimes I would be right down in bed a few hours or half a day. I remembered the many things it was doing to me to make me so uncomfortable. Now....I feel great! I asked Kim what has happened that I don't ever feel like that anymore? I feel totally normal. He said simply, " it's all the prayers given for you". I smiled and realized how correct he was and how my life has changed for the better. If my cancer is playing havoc in me, I sure don't feel it. I sure hope it isn't doing that.
I went and got a foot zoning Friday, and when I went in, one of the first questions she asked me was if I was still taking chemo. I told her no, not for two months. She said she could tell I wasn't. I asked her how and she said that I didn't have a black color surrounding me that chemo brings. Wow. I didn't know that.
Well, I am playing the waiting game till the end of the year, and loving life and feeling totally normal. Thank you again to you all for caring about me! I love you all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
