Hi Maureen,
I got home a while ago. It wasn't that bad at all, it's more just scary because you know what they're looking for and it takes so long. They take you in a room and get you really comfortable and then they give you an IV and quickly put that liquid in, and then you just sitting there for an hour. They come and get you and then you have you lay down and then they do what's similar to a CT scan except it's a lot quieter, and it goes down your body like it stops every little bit down your whole body. It takes about 25 minutes to do that, then you're done. Other than that I feel better today, at least my fever is gone now. That's all I need now is to be sick! I still feel like somebody punched me in my ribs on that side though when I take a deep breath but I wonder if that has something to do with them giving me that iron yesterday because it was shortly after that I started feeling this in my lung. But it'll be okay it's not as bad as it seems. Now it's just a waiting game for the results. I know my oncologist is supposed to call me next week Tuesday, or Wednesday. I have a EGD and sigmoidoscopy scheduled on Tuesday. That's at noon it'll take an hour and a half. Then I have two IV infusion schedule next week... I guess just one thing at a time until we know what we're doing with and I can find out what the treatment is going to be. How are you doing? How are you feeling? I hope you're trying to think a little positively. And I should tell myself the same, and I do try to think positive. I really do. It's hard though. I do know that there's a lot that can do now though. Miracles happen every day! I rented a room at a water park hotel on Sunday because my granddaughter doesn't have school Monday. So at least we're going to go check in early and I'm going to let her swim on Sunday and then I'll have to take her to daycare on Monday around noon so I can go get this infusion done. I hope you're going to try to do something to stay busy over the weekend, and I know you have your scan tomorrow. That's a couple hours out of your day and then you'll probably be hungry too so try to get something to eat after! But I've been thinking about you. I told my mom about you today and how we have so much in common in a lot of ways with things. I hope you get this message I hit the view and reply button I don't know what I did last time that you didn't get my message. I sent you a message the other night too that I was so sick, I had a fever and everything. But maybe you didn't get that either. I don't know anymore! Let me know if you got this)
