Rescheduling – Zometa infusion 8

I’m very concerned about the current
changes in
my breast
and the
pain in
my breast
my chest
my joints
my muscles
my long bones
my headaches

I moved up my monthly blood draw and
Zometa infusion to today
Though when I went to the Center, I discovered that
I was supposed to be there last Friday…
Oops

Anyway
Hope to have the blood work back by Tuesday.

My next PET/CT scan is scheduled for
the end of February
but I left a message with Dr. DeLeon
that I want to move it to ASAP.

Hope to have that done by next
Wednesday, so we can get the
results by Friday.

Then we can see what is happening.

And make some
changes, decisions
if needed.

But for tonight
Christine called
so I am going to have dinner
with Her & Rob
then to their home
and play some games

I need the company.

Changes

I’m seeing some more changes in my (left) breast. My nipple seems to be peeking out, not so much pulled inwards and has regained much sensitivity.

The areola also seems to have “loosened up” somewhat, especially on the inner side. It is less “puckery” and more normal looking and feeling.

Not sure if these changes are totally due to the chemo, partially chemo and partially new treatment, or totally new treatment – but they are good to see!

I can only Hope they are due to the new treatment.

Nightime Pain

Last night my (left) breast hurt so bad that it woke me up… It was sharp, stabbing pains that lasted about 20 minutes.

I haven’t felt anything that bad, just some occasional sharp pains long before my diagnosis. At that time, I had been told “cancer doesn’t hurt”, that what I was feeling was the “staph infection”, so the pains didn’t concern me. HA.

Anyway, last night I just laid there and wondered what was going on.

Then, after a while, it stopped.

I hope the cancer was starting to die. That is was dying. I don’t like to wish intentional pain on any creature, but this is one “creature” that I wish to totally eradicate.

To DIE.
