Sorry I haven't been posting - I've had a few bad days. My headache on Wednesday only got worse and the great lunch from Fox's really upset my stomach. I got a prescription for Darvacette but couldn't take it til my stomach stopped being upset. Thursday I went in for fluids and neulasta and was experiencing some "pressure" in my chest. Not sure what was causing it but it was hard to breathe. Went to Horseheads and ordered my hair - RED of course :) - and made better food choices. Stomach was much better on Thursday. Val Sweirck brought up a chocolate peanut butter cup pie. Last cub scout meeting on Thursday evening - My face flushed out very badly before I got home but no fever.
Friday AM Wendy comes with soup from Kathy and chicken pot pie from Wendy. My headache was still here and still bad so I took a darvacette and then called the Cancer Center at 8:30. I went in for a checkup at 11 and from there went to the hospital for a CT Scan of my chest to make sure there was no fluid in my lungs/chest - around the port. Only thing the scan showed was the bruising in my left breast. Dr Polony (radiologist) talked to Dr. Welt and Dr. Shaikh and both of them called me. Dr Shaikh doesn't think that anything needs to be done with the hematoma (bruising) in Louise. Dr Shaikh had me go see Sarah Boyle to check my vitals and Sarah called Dr Olmstead (dr who put in my port) and he listened to Dr Polony's report. So during one day I had 5 doctors discussing my care. WOOHOOO.
Together they decided that the massive changes in my body in the last week have most likely caused the discomfort in my chest. SOOOOO --- mom, anne, the boys and I went to dinner at Applebees and then we came home and I took a bath and a darvacette. I'm in for the evening and trying to relax as much as I can. The boys are watching ZOOM on tv and it's quiet here.
Monday I have an MRI to check out my pain in my head and Tuesday I have a PET scan at Arnot Ogden. More tests :( I will let you know how I make out.
Love you all - please keep me in your prayers.
