My Next Dr's Appts!

It is hard to believe that another month has gone by. But a great month it was. We had company from Michigan and I felt good and enjoyed the visit. Next Monday and Tuesday are all my monthly scans and tests. Praying that all will be stable again and take me through to the New Year.
Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful time of the Harvest and Fall weather. Enjoy each and every day!!

This is quite unbelievable!

Most of you know that I have suffered for months with, well frankly, diahrea. Quite bad. The doctor has tried several things...nothing helped.

The other night my friend Kathy called and said she saw on Mystery Diagnosis a lady who had what sounded like the same symptoms I have. It is called Happa Gallbladder Syndrome.

I called my oncologist, who had never heard of it, and asked if he would look it up and see if maybe that could be me. He later called and said, let's try it. I started a low dose of Colestyramine and so far so good. 3 days - no problems.

I am amazed. Almost 6 months I have suffered with this. It was a great diet plan though...so now, I really got to watch the food!!

Just a little update!

I am feeling good. I will see my oncologist next Tuesday....but before I do I am having a Hida test. Apparently this is to determine if my gall bladder is functioning properly. With my stomach issues, they want to make sure. Whoopee! But other than that, I am not anticipating any problems.

Thanks for all your concerns and prayers....I appreciate them so much!!

Good Report!

Hi all! Saw my oncologist today and I am still stable on my current chemo treatment. We are so thankful...prayers were definately answered the way we had hoped. In fact, some of my tumors have shrunk...
The only negative is my doctor wants my stomach issues settled. So I am starting a new drug to see if it settles it down. Just a trial and error type of thing, I think. See what might work!
Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. I am so thrilled that the next two months will be as the last 6. I am able to do more of real life....
Don't forget to visit me at my other blog Thinkin of Home......I try to post there at least a couple of times a week about things I am doing.....

Till then....

Popping in to say Hi!

I just wanted to post and say hello. I have been feeling pretty well. My next CT is next week, but this week, I am enjoying celebrating our 37th anniversary!!
Still the stomach issues persist...some days worse than others...but, I am handling it. I have lost about 40 pounds...which I had to lose...but I don't recommend this diet!!
I will definately be back to let you know how the CT scan went....have a great week!!

I am doing good and enjoying life without all DR's!!

I am on a monthly regimen now, it feels like I have been paroled!!

Only have to go in 2 days in the month....oh, glorious freedom.....

anyways, I wanted to say that I am feeling good....still have stomach issues, but I am getting used to it!

Thank you as always for all your prayers. I see the doctor on August 2 so all should be well. No ct scan until the end of August. I don't dread it as much since they finally figured out the correct amount of premeds!!

Hope you are enjoying these long summer days.....

My results

This is a fast post, and I am sorry, but honestly, I am exhausted. I saw my oncologist yesterday and my CT was stable. No improvement, but not any worse. So I get to stay on the current treatment plan.
2 days of doctor's appointments, 100 mile trips each day, has wore me out. But I wanted to let you know....we are so thankful.

I will talk to you all again soon.
