I got another "lungs all clear" report from Doc O today. It took so long to see him again that he had already gotten the written report from Radiology confirming what he saw-- or what he did not see, so it is official. We will do it all over again on May 20, including leg MRI, abdomin and pelvic area this time. The only change is I no longer have to have contrast. It is yucky stuff to drink, but the worse part is what they shoot up Your veins. It sends this warm sensation throughout your body. I always feel like I wet my pants! Then you kinds of feel yucky for a couple of hours; it is not awful, but just a pain!
Speaking of 'pain" - Doc O and I did discuss my leg/hip discomfort. He pretty much just said "it was just going to hurt" - all the radiation, surgery, scar tissue, disconnected and reconnection etc. So it is what it is and is nothing that I should be scared of - just something I live with! I get massages every two weeks, take some non narcotic pain medicine, stretch a lot and get on with life. And now I am going to get dressed for my tennis lesson! There were so many times, I thought I'd never get to say that again! I am a lucky girl!

Hi Geri, I'm so pleased you had the all clear. It must be such a relief when they tell you that.
Hope you enjoy having Megan and Andrew to visit.
Take care,
Becky xx
Glad to hear your good news and I hope you enjoy your tennis outing! Have a wonderful spring!
This is great news! I knew you were anxious; who wouldn't be? But, all is well, and that's the best! Sorry about the aggravating hip pain, but just think of all the ready-made excuses you now have now to get out of doing stuff you just don't wanna do...
