Last Friday afternoon, I had an appointment to see my family doctor. I had the lovely female exam. Everything is good, except for I have internal hemorrhoids. I am not experiencing any pain from them.
This morning, I saw the lymphodema specialist at rehab. She measured both of my legs, and there is only a few centimeters of difference between my two thighs. My swelling isn't that too bad. The reason for that is because of the prayers you have all been uplifting to God on my behalf. Thank you again for those prayers. God is answering them. I was told to do a massage to do 2-3 times a week, to help send the lymphatic fluid from my right thigh to a couple of other areas in my body. I only have to go back, if the swelling gets worse.
I also saw my onc this morning. My liver counts are a little high, due to the Interferon. My white blood count is now at 2.6. It was at 2.4 for the past two weeks. My platelets is at 124, they have been lower than that. I am still in the safe zone, even if I do have counts low, or high.
On the 31st of this month, I have a mammogram scheduled. That is my first one ever. A few days later, on the 5th, I have a CT Scan scheduled. I will have to drink that yucky stuff again. Please pray that I will be able to keep it down. Where I am getting my scan, I have to see if they can access my port, they said they couldn't, but I will ask them next week again. If they can't then OP Onc will access it the day before, so that we won't have to have fun trying to get to a vein for starting an IV.
It is cold up here. Over the weekend, the temps were from the single digits to the teens. No new snow.
