Yesterday I saw my personal dr. I have a standing appt every 3 months, or more often as needed. Visit mostly went well as we chatted about everything that has happened since I saw her last.
Still some concerns on her end -
My blood pressure is still too low. Not really a cause or how to change it to back to my normal yet. Will be addressed in my oncology appt this coming week.
My hands and feet are still really swollen. Again, no obvious cause and not sure how to resolve that one either. Another concern to be addressed again this next week.
She ran a couple of labs to see if she could find the cause for either. Of course, my labs came back totally perfect with no concerns. We know what it isnt, but still 2 things that we cant figure out what it is....On a good note for the dr office, 2 new gals are in the office lab and actually got the lab on a first try. My dr was funny when she brought me in and told the gals that I was a "clean slate" for them and that she wasnt going to share any concerns. As we chatted I shared a little bit of my history with them for being a hard stick. We got what we needed so that was really good.
Afternoon and evening were rough with unexpected symptoms. I was feeling pretty sluggish, so tried for a nap. Got up for just a few minutes and almost passed out. Thankfully got back to bed, and ended up staying there for the rest of the afternoon/night. I am off chemo for this week, no new meds, no new changes, it is crazy that my body is freaking out anyway....
Hopefully on Wed will have more answers for a couple of things. LOTS coming up on our plate that I need to be ready for and functioning. It is a bit scary knowing we have unresolved concerns. Hopefully we will find those answers soon.
Thanx to all for your continued prayers and help and support. We know we are getting through all this not fun stuff because you are there. More to come after appts next week.
