Well, chemo is over and I am so very glad! I have a little chicken fluff sprouting on my head. Can't tell yet what color it will be. My neorapathy has increased especially in my feet. They are tingly, numb and very annoying! More patience needed.
The lymphedema seems to be getting better. My hand is still holding some fluid. Today I got my glove and sleeve to wear. This is a great improvement from the compression bandaging. I still go to therapy twice a week.
This week is just crazy. The practices for the Winter Program are going well. I love being with the kids. Even though I am tired, the time goes by quickly when I'm at school. After school is another story. I am trying to fit in many Loyola appointments this week.
Yesterday I had a muga scan (heart) at 2pm and my herceptin infusion was scheduled for 4pm. My drug was delayed at the pharmacy and they couldn't access my port. I didn't get home until 7:30pm. Long day!
Today I had therapy and then a visit with the radiologist. He agrees that the wound has to heal before I begin radiation. He said we can see how it goes. He will speak to the surgeon who I will see next Tuesday.
Tomorrow is a big day. I teach in the am and I have my cat and bone scan in the afternoon. I really don't like tests that you can't study for. Please pray for a positive outcome. I will find out on Monday how all these tests come out.
Thanks again for checking in. I continue to appreciate all your support!

Karen-
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny...not liking "tests" you can't study for!!! I agree with you!
Hope all went well today. Now you need to rest up for the Winter Programs. Take it one day at a time. So glad you are finished with chemo. You're doing great!
Best wishes always,
Debbie
Thought about you all day yesterday. Will call next week to get results. Keep focusing on the music programs that should give you plenty of positive feedback. You have excellent Drs. so put your trust in them. They've done good so far. Will wait to hear next week. Keep being patient. I know it isn't easy. Karen D
