August Oncologist Visit. Still lethargic

I went to see my oncologist on the 25th, really hoping she would be back from her stroke.  No such luck.  She still hasn't gotten her strength back yet.  They say she had a mild stroke.  It doesn't sound like it to me.  It has been several months now since her stroke. 

I did have lots to ask to the replacement doctor.  I still am so lethargic and tired.  I have no stamina.  I am hating feeling this way all the time.  When I wake up in the morning, I have no zip in me for the day.  And I always want naps and to go to bed early.  He said it is still the radiation.  Really?  I thought that was long gone.  But he was emphatic that it was the radiation.  At least I have a reason to feel so tired still.  I go back in 3 more months.

I still have my days that I hurt terribly inside and ache in all of my joints.  Especially my hips and legs.  I can handle that.  It goes away after a few days.  I sometimes wonder if my cancer is growing again.  I will have pangs of pain in that area where I used to before the radiation.  I don't like to think that it might be growing again though.  Other than that, I think I do pretty good.  I just wish I wasn't so tired so much.  I did start going to water aerobics a few weeks ago.  I find it is helpful for my joints to be in the water.  Onward and upward. 

To my doctors.........please stay healthy!!!

August is finally here.  The end of this month, I hopefully get to see my oncologist again.  She has been out for a few months since she had a stroke.  The word was, that she would be back in August.  My appointment is the 25th.  I hope that gives her time to come back.  There should be a rule......that doctors can't have strokes or die.  Yup.  both have happened to me since cancer.
