Summer is over, and I now am in my favorite time of year. Autumn! Ahhh. I love the smell and sites of Autumn and especially the temperature.
This past summer has been very quiet with my cancer. After having the radiation, things improved remarkably. However, I feel that maybe bad stuff is going on again. I am having pain more than I would like in the area of the tumors again. Next CT scan will tell if that is true or not.
I still feel very tired each day. If I go lie down, even if I don't go to sleep, it helps me so much to carry on the rest of the day. I guess it is still the radiation that has caused this tiredness. But if that is a symptom, I'll take it. I don't mind having to have a rest most days.
Thank you to all of you to check on this blog. I haven't had much to say as of late, but that is good for me. It means my life has been quite normal.
My heart really goes out to my oncologist who is still out from working since her stroke. I so hope she comes back. I miss her and will very much miss her if I don't see her again.
My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.
My husband has fought 2 cancers and now Bell's Palsy in the last 3 years. He used to get by on 4 hours of sleep but now needs one or 2 naps a day. His docs say that may be his new norm. Frustrating for him sometimes but we both feel very blessed that he is still here to take them. I usually lie down with him and read while he rests. Works for us. I do hope your energy comes back but if not, relaxing for a while each day can be peaceful and stress relieving too.
