Changes again...

First off  I want to send my condolences to 5 of my friends who have lost friends and family members, and a dog over the last couple days. It's been a very sad day on facebook today. I send them all prayers, thoughts and peace. Much love.

So I had an oncology appointment today. My CT scan shows a few small new cancerous spots, very tiny. I have been taken off the Xalkori oral chemo again. Doc is just not sure if it's what caused my lung clots. Everything else is going well. Tomorrow I have another eye injection. I hope it goes okay. 

Thanks for all your support, friendship and love and prayers. You all  mean a lot to me. 

Rough first day of 2014

Happy New Year 2014!!!



 It was a good visit to KGH and I'm really glad we went. The procedure was horrible. What happened is my tummy where my injections are done has swollen up and there are small bumps under the bruises. The small bumps got bigger and it seemed like they were all amalgamating together. It was VERY hot, red and swollen last night. So we went to KGH first thing this morning. Turns out that there was a lot of fluid accumulated, according to the ultrasound they did. Doc got another Doc's opinion and they both agreed to numb my belly and use a large syringe to remove the excess fluid. Turned out it was all blood and super thick. So the pressure and pain should dissipate over the next week or so. Then they had to take blood to be sure my counts were okay. When the phlebotomist tried to put the syringe in my port, my port moved and it went in wrong. It was excrutiating. She pulled it back out and went to get another nurse to help her. She numbed me and after a short time, tried again and it was successful. The results came back and my blood work was fine, thank goodness. Another nurse came in to show me many other areas to do my injections, so hopefully I won't have this problem again. My tummy is very, very sore right now, so I am just resting today.

This is what my fat tummy looks like and it HURTS!!
