Feeling Great

Just a quick note. I am feeling great!!! I have met with both the cancer surgeon and the reconstructive surgeon. l The surgery they think will be best for me has quite a long time recovery time. I should know in the next couple of weeks when my surgery is going to be. I am looking forward to a healthy holiday season and all my kids and grandkids coming for Christmas.

PROGRESS

So I went back to work yesterday and it went great. I felt good all day and was really tired last night but it was a good tired. I met with the surgeon on Monday and he wants to do surgery before the end of January.I meet with the Reconstrution surgeon this coming Monday. Then we will decide a date for surgery. They say my bone cancer is in remission and we are going to chop the rest out so I am on the mend. Thanks for all your support.

Been a Long Time

Well it has been a long time since I posted on the blog. I apologize. I really haven't had anything to say that I thought was significant since my last post until my recent hospital stay and then I couldn't post. I did give Tara posting rights so if this happens again she can update. So I will give a quick synopsis of what happened. Ever since my fourth Chemo I just haven't bounce back like normal. I was always tired and on any exertion I was short of breath. It just kept getting worse and worse. Well on the 26 th of October I was so short of breath I called and talked to my oncologist office and they had me come in to be assessed by the nurses because it was my doctors day off. They sent me next door to the hospital to have a CT scan to see if maybe I had a pulmonary embolism. It came back negative so I set an appointment for the next day to see my oncologist. The next morning it took me two and a half hours to get ready for work because I had to keep laying down I was so short of breath (should have been my first clue). Then when I did get to work I had to sit down in the lobby because I was so short of breath (should have been my second clue). Anyway way I stayed till one then went home and then went to my doctors office. When I got there I was coughing really badly and when they took my vitals my O@ sats where 84% ( they should be 100%). I walked around the office and they dropped to 65%. The doctor immediately put me in a wheelchair with oxygen and they took me next door to the ER where I was admitted. I stayed for one week. Had every test known to men. Had a Pulmonologist, Cardiologist, Oncologist, and Hospitalist all trying to figure out what happened but no answers. I got released this last Wednesday. I have to wear oxygen on activity but am fine when I am resting. I won't know the results of one of the tests till next week but not real hopeful it will tell us anything. My Oncologist said I don't have to have last chemo which does not hurt my feelings at all. I meet with the surgeon in two weeks. I think this is as updated as I can do for now. I will try to be better.
