Great news on my chest, pelvic and abdomin CT today. All clear, and now I move to 90 days for the next scan vs 60. I went to Doc O for these since Dr. D'Amato is gone. He did not like me being on 60 day cycle anyway as he felt it may be too much radiation. With all the scans I have had I am surely glowing in the dark anyway, and it is not my shining personality. My next scans are May 14. I was scheduled for an MRI on my leg in June so now I can have them all at once. And I got them to move me to Fridays so it does not mess up my work travel week so much.
I am working at home this afternoon. I've tried setting appointments later in the day after my scans. but I get so anxious a couple of days before, not sleeping well, that I think I am better off working at home after. I am now drinking some barium thing the day before and morning of the scan and getting an IV contrast, and it makes me feel a little yucky anyway. I am soooo relieved. I was certain this time (I probably say this every time) there was going to be something wrong. My lungs still kind of hurt when I yawn so I just knew that was a problem. This is the one time I just love being wrong!
My sister-in-law Jackie, Bob's sister, starts chemo in England tomorrow so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for an easy and successful journey. Fortunately, this is a preventative measure for her, but chemo of any sort is no picnic. She will not loose her hair so that is great news. We talked to her today, and like always, she is in great spirits and staying positive.
All is well with us otherwise. Bob has just about finished remodeling our guest bath (except putting up the new door ) and so now I am ready to move him on to other projects. He can always tell when I am "thinking", and I know that must just scare him to death about the work it might create for him!
Hopefully there will be nothing new to report until next scans May 14 . Lots of people keep trying to get me to go onto Facebook, but I would not do that unless I gave up the blog and moved it there. I just don't think enough of you use Facebook - and quite honestly, my life is not interesting enough to post much on FB anyway - thank heavens. I love it when things are dull around here!
Thanks for checking in on me!
