Today I had to go for an abdominal ultrasound at the hospital. Was supposed to be a routine test but I have to tell you I left with some bad vibes! I don't profess to know anything about these things but I was getting awfully nervous as the tecxh was spending an inordinate amount of time in one area measuring and taking pictures he kept doing it over and over. Maybe that is normal and thorough but it left me wondering!! When it was over he started asking me if I had history of bladder or kidney infections. I have only had one in my life and that was many years ago...about 1988. ?? Now I have to wait until I see a doctor again to get some reassurance/answers I guess. Who would have thought I would be anxious for a chemo day just to see a doctor!!

On a brighter note...I still have hair today...hanging on by a thread! lots of hair in the tub after shampooing but still more on my head than off. I feel like I live in a house full of cats or something and am constanly trying to wipe hair off my face! Soon this will get to me more than losing my hair and bam! it is out of here!
Have a good one!
