Finally Have the Go-ahead

During the last few weeks, I have had some medical testing done with scans, blood tests, and ultrasounds. My ultrasounds are still showing a thick uterine wall, so my Gynecologist will be monitoring it by having me continue to get testing done. My scans and blood tests for Cancer all came back clear, so I have been given the OK to have my operation to remove my Port. Even though I will still be seeing my oncologist every three months, my scans have been moved out to every six months.

It feels good to feel better. Keep the prayers coming. I still have pins and needles 24/7 in both my feet and hands. It makes it hard for me to do things or get around. Even though I have more energy and can do some things for longer periods of time, I still have a long way to go. God is good I am so thankful for every day I have with my family and friends. Hugs.

Hematologist results

 Went to my hematologist on Thursday and she said I am doing well. She increased my B-12 to 5000 a day and added a B-6 100 daily to the lineup. Most of what I take are vitamins, very few are actually medications. I am blessed. It looks like my neuropathy in my hands and feet will be lifelong as well as taking the vitamins I take as my body is not absorbing enough on its own anymore. It felt good to get out but boy was it hot. Also, Dorothy should be coming home on Tuesday. She is doing much better. We have been blessed with more time with our children which many don't get. Hugs and keep those prayers coming.

Quick update. My Vitamin B-12 is more than fine so back to the drawing board on what is causing the never-ending pins and needles in my hands and feet. I was told to keep my Vitamin B-12 where it is 2500 a day as even though my B-12 looks fine what my body is absorbing is still low. At this point, I have to give it to God because he is the only one who can take it away or give the Doctor insight to find what is causing it. Keep those prayers coming. Hugs.

Biopsy, Scans, Results.

 I had my biopsy done on May 11th and I wanted to clarify, that they are not testing for cervix cancer they are testing for uterine cancer. I should have the results in about two weeks. Prayers are welcome.

I had my Catscans on May 12, other than bruising my arm pretty good it went well. Today I got news from both my Oncologist and Gynecologist that the tests look good so I am good until my next set in Three months.

Insurance Form Aggravation

 I have had a few people call or text wondering what is going on with my tests and results. Well, it has been a big mess. We set up appointments back in April and Medical Transportation didn't want to take me out of county to see my Doctors so they had to fill out special forms so I could see them and get testing done. Once they were approved we set up appointments again to be told by medical transportation that the building didn't do what we were going there for, Someone had put the wrong code in so we had to put in another form request and that had to be approved.

While doing all this we noticed the form for my wheelchair/rollater was also expired and had to have that done. Finally, we set up all the appointments again, and bam the Catscan office called and asked when was the last time the Doctors did a Kidney function test on me. After checking with Doctors we found out not since last November so now I have to get a blood test before I can get any scans done which pushes my appointment with my oncologist even further out. With that being said I get my blood workup, my biopsy, and scans all done this coming week and will see my oncologist the following week God willing. I want to thank everyone for the continued prayers and for checking up on me. It means more than you would think. Hugs

Health update

 Hello everyone. I was waiting till we talked to our children before posting here. All of my tests have returned, some good some bad I will give you the good first. The Doctor thought I was in menopause naturally and because of my chemotherapy. I started to bleed last month after going 14 months with nothing. I waited a day before contacting my Hematologist who asked a few questions and then told me to call my Gynecologist which I did and relayed what my Hematologist wanted done which was just blood tests but the Gynecologist also wanted an inner and outer ultrasound done.

While there I also got a thyroid scan done to check to see what was going on there. My thyroid scan came back that it was just enlarged no Cancer. We were so happy. Then my appointment came yesterday. My blood tests showed that I am not in Menopause at all so I am just a rare case that got their monthly back. The Ultrasound showed that the wall in my cervix is twice the size it should be.

My Gynecologist wanted to do a biopsy yesterday. Dennis hadn't gone in with me so I didn't want to make the decision without him so we talked about options and we are going to wait a month to see if I get my period and go through another ultrasound to see if the wall has gotten thinner. If Either I do or don't get my monthly, and the wall is still the same we are going to do the Biopsy on May 11th to rule out Cancer. I am not going to lie. I am scared. Not sure if I have the strength to go through this all over again. Not sure if my body can take it again. Please keep my family and me in your prayers. Hugs.

Well that isn't supposed to happen

 Two nights ago something happened that was not supposed to happen and had to contact several of my specialists. I have to get scans and labs done early next week to see what is going on. I will update more when I know more. Right now I am resting with instructions on what to do if things change. Please keep me in your prayers. Hugs.
