Hello everyone,
I am a little nervous today as tomorrow I go to the oncoligist... And I know they saw something on my bowel the last time I was in for my ultrasound... I have them every three months... they do a full body... The girl that was doing it said... " do you have diverticulosis or chrones". And I said " not that I am aware of "... She said nothing more. I know they can't say anything... But I have been concerned ever since ,as I have had chronic diahrea for the last six months or more...
For those who do not know me... I was diagnosed with lupus seven years ago.. Along with Rheumatoid Arthritis... Then a few years later diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma... I have been having treatments ever since... I went into remission once and it lasted almost a year...
They started giving me Retuxan along with my other chemo about two years ago... And I have been feeling very good...Other than some aches and pains... But then again who doesn't have that...
I am due to go for chemo again in a couple of weeks... Every time I go... she says the tests came back with a few lymph nodes in your neck and chin area, nothing on your organs... But I am worried this time I wont be so lucky...
And of course they sent me a letter the other day saying I was to go to a different hospital this time... And I am so familiar with the one I usually go to... This is the time I am going alone also...my husband is busy doing a job and I dont want him to take the time off to go with me...I hope I dont get lost... I am going to leave early tomorrow morning to give myself lots of time just in case.... I am going to stop at Tim hortons to get a strong coffee for nerves:hehe: and then I am going to start out... :hehe:.. of course by the time I come home.... I might need something stronger than a coffee:lol:.
Thank you for listening to me.... Wish me luck... I will let you know how it all turns out....
:love2: love Penny
