Todays's chemo marks the halfway point. BUT, all is not as well as it should be. It appears that I have a 1.2cm "nodule" on my bladder that needs some investigation. Dr Donahue thinks it is highly unlikely that it has anything to do with the breast cancer, but may be a cancer onto itself!! So I guess that means it is a good thing I got breast cancer so I can find out what else is wrong with this rapidly aging body! She is setting up an appointment with a urologist to arrange for a cysto and biopsy of this tumor. And so the rollercoaster just keeps on going! I also have to have more bloodwork done to find out what is up with my throid, as she says I have a goiter! So I have to wonder what else could go wrong.
On an up note I had a fabulous time away last weekend (sans alcohol) seemed funny to hear others getting pie eyed and me perfectly stone cold sober! not the usual way of these things. But my liver has quite a lot of work to do these days clearing these toxic drugs from my body, so I will not make it work harder than it has too. Got lots and lots of scrapbooking done, another first for me, as my social wanderings were limited. Didn't get a whole lot of sleep but figured that after chemo I sleep for days on end so will surly get caught up. Once this whole thing is over I will be searching for a cheap holiday even if it is only for 3-4 days. I will need the break!
Likely will be a day or two checking back in unless there is something new to tell, going to bed now ....night!
