So here we are... September 7th. How time flies by. I have been somewhat lazy about writing, but it is getting to the point where fall is setting in and my outside time (with light) is dropping rapidly. I need to get out there so I can get ready for work, but I hate that it is dark.
I will be honest, I don't feel like typing this morning. No so much anything to do with the cancer, but more so the last day of the first week back to work, dogs think that I am going to give them treats all the time in the morning for some reason so they harass me constantly. I mean what are they thinking, I can't reward that naughty behavior so they aren't going to get a treat at all. Horrible puppy catch 22... Either way, other than being tired and having some lightheaded issues I have felt pretty good. I am quite confident that my night cramping issue is dehydration and lack of nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium) so I have started to supplement them and last night I had one cramp on the bottom of my foot only so that is improvement. Off to make some breakfast... Love you all!
I wonder if you all notice the Hue lights changing colors behind me. Today's theme is blue plane so I try to match the fireplace to the light theme. Fun stuff. Combined with my happy light I try to find things that make my spirts brighten or relax. I have been feeling really positive with hearing Sloan wants to do some further work other than just straight chemo. Every one I have read about the survived a similar diagnosis as me has had the same mental approach and some similar treatment paths that started with standard chemo and then some combination of new treatments and surgery. So I am keeping up my energy and my healthy eating to ensure that I am a candidate for whatever is coming in 2 months. My brain has been pretty foggy lately. I know that is the chemo, but I hate it. I pride myself on being witty and quick, but those thoughts seem slower lately. I have been doing an ok job with keeping the "there is no tumor" a...
Back from NJ yesterday... I have new spots on my liver (smaller than a cm) and though I am a little upset about that, I did expect that we had a full side to still address. Considering they removed 6 wedges in the last surgery and I have been able to get around, use my bowels, albeit annoyingly, and that those two spots are the only area of concern for my oncologist... I will take it. Am I scared - hell yes. I do get lightheaded quite a bit and I don't always feel so hot, but I did (in March) have some pretty major surgery and though it has been a couple of months I shouldn't expect to just be running a marathon. I was in pretty bad shape when I went into that surgery. I will write more tomorrow AM, but for now, I need to get to work :) I love you all!
