Loose Pages

Went for appointment yesterday with Medical Oncologist. My blood work looked great - white blood count - but potassium is low. They want to give me potassium pills now. Ughhh. So many pills. They released me to go have my Upper GI (stomach scope again). Two previous appointments had to be cancelled because of the chemo/radiation. They did not want me to have the procedure done while I was under their care. Now that they have given the ok - I imagine I will have that within the next week or two.

I have appointment with lung surgeon tomorrow (Wednesday). He is the one who wanted the Upper GI done before his surgery. I would imagine that they will set the lung surgery date tomorrow but I'm not sure. He is going on vacation next week, so it won't be next week but I'm sure it will be shortly if not very soon after my Upper GI. Mid July maybe?

I have an appointment Thursday with the lung doctor who found the cancer to begin with. It's a follow-up visit so I'm not sure what all it will involve. Just a follow-up I guess. 

I am planning on working this week. I am working today, part of Thursday (probably from home) and Friday at the office. 

I still have no energy but I can feel it slowly, slowly coming back. I get tired quicker when I do things. A little out of breath - so I just take it easy. The Medical Oncologist said that it will take a few weeks but I should start noticing it leveling off soon. Thank God! Sunday I slept all day and then slept all night with no problems. Just no energy. I haven't been getting as sick. I think I was only sick Friday morning and Saturday evening. 

I am still loosing some hair. I don't think I will loose it all - but it is thinning definitely. This too shall pass (hopefully) after the affects of the chemo/radiation start wearing off. 

So with that, a few morning chores to do and off to work. All is well with Riley and Rosie. 

I love the grass!

We love playing together!
