Clearance from Lund

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Now, my doctor along with surgeons examined the results of X-ray and they believe that surgery is probably the best option now. I'm going back to Lund next week for a new investigation under general anesthesia (9: the time I sovs since it started, begin to have routine) and then surgeons should also be present to take the absolute final decision.

Since the tumor is active, it's spread from the point of view good to get rid of it but unfortunately it is not just the tumor removed ... Everything around it can spread to be removed so the result is stoma and artificial bladder (the second, I will not miss ). But as my son put it - better to have a mother with bag on his stomach than no mother at all, lucid and wise son!

The feeling when I found out it is the same as when I was told I had cancer - total emptiness. When you go home and feel fairly good and crisp morphine so it is easy to repress the fact is seriously ill. Too bad they have to remind me far too often, of course thrive so well in my little bubble ... Even when I write about it so it feels sometimes as if it's myself I write about - the reality is a bit too much effort to deal with sometimes.

Not according to plan

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Just returned from Lund, where they unfortunately konstråd pointed out that the tumor started to grow again. Now they await information from PET X-ray (if ev. Spread) and will then decide what action should be initiated. Likely to be the Cyt-day treatment with two different kinds of chemotherapeutic agents simultaneously.

Feels a bit tough right now but it probably depends most on that it had started to fall so nicely so the disappointment was great. But it is just to go into the next round of treatment and hope for the best. I'm too stubborn to give up!

Lund

So it becomes just one night this time (iofs was 5 weeks 8 of the summer so we'll see ...)

Jippi yay!

Did ultrasound of the heart today. The backlash I had was not worse than what many people have so it was nemas problemas. There you can hear is the blood that goes a little too fast through the valve, therefore no impact on cardiac function. Also had a bit (3mm) fluid in the ventricle, which I probably got because I got cytostatikan but it also affects the function. How To sum - my heart feels prima :)

So amazingly beautiful with a positive message for once.

We are expecting

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

So, when was the study left thyroid. Was a large goiter under the doctor why he did cytology. This means that the puncture struman and taking smears from it. Five times he ran - ajoto.

Now it's just waiting around. two weeks for a response. He dares not raise the medication because of my angina because the heart which can be damaged if it goes too fast. So now he is awaiting awaiting test results before he decides whether to continue treatment.

Now I have a day off before the bear away to the next sjukhusbeök : (


Recall in Lund

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Was not quite according to plan today ...

The tumor has stopped bleeding, which of course is very positive, but unfortunately the doctor did something else. It sat too far up so that she could look at me when I was awake, so now I'm back in 2-3 weeks to be examined under general anesthesia and PET radiographed.

Hope now it will be better informed tomorrow and on Thursday.

Final Gnällt!

Körig weeks

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Now I have time in Lund. On Monday already!

So now it is testing for cardiovascular study Monday morning.
Lund on Monday afternoon.
Thyroid Screening on Tuesday.
Heart Scan on Thursday.

My poor husband who has to drive me to all facilities due to dizziness, because I can not drive yourself : (


Time

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The 17th is the time to check the thyroid. Hope the medicine has done any good. Feels iofs not so for I sleep and sleep. How strange that after 5 years with an overdose of sleeping pills suddenly sleep 8-10 hours per night, plus dinner nap.

Becomes very hospital next week for the 19th to the heart scan. And soon it's time for Lund again. A bit worried about it, not for investigation, but the idea that they put into different chemotherapy and that there is a place to lose your hair down. Had luck last round, round and round by the way - the tumor is still there ... But is the price to get rid of the tumor that I lose my hair, it is of course the election easily even if the idea scares me a bit.

Final Gnällt!
