Yesterday was a very full day. Started extra early with labs at the cancer center. Usually the lab gal can get me on a first try. My go-to veins decided to not cooperate. 4 tries later she finally got a vein that decided to behave.
I went right from the lab to infusion. Injection went into my stomach lining, not so fun. Something that was fun was that while I was at my appt my chemo nurse from when I was first sick was in the office. She is the manager of the whole infusion office now. It was wonderful to chat with her and catch up.
My oncology appt was a little crazy. Thankfully my PA was there vs the on call dr. We hashed out a plan for my chemo schedule while traveling. Lots of questions that still couldn't be answered concerning surgery in January. PA was a bit flustered. I teased her that my whole goal in life is too make things extra difficult for her. We laughed, but kind of is true that I am the "problem child". Will work on surgery plan at my pre-op appt in January.
My labs came back really good, including the tumor marker. Numbers are all stable for once. Hopefully will stay that way for travel.
The rest of the day was spent running errands to get ready to leave. Heavenly Father sent blessings and energy and strength. I was able to drive myself and complete all the errands and packing mostly by myself. Truly so many miracles and blessings when I need them most!
Hopefully will not have any medical posts until January. Will write more after my pre-op appt then!
