The Day after

Hello all,

Yesterday I went in for my PET scan to see if these treatments are doing any good. After all, it's still about winning or losing this battle. I was so anxious this week and really was looking forward to yesterday. I wasn't allowed to eat after 5am for this test, but I made it up to eat though. When I got done, I ran into my nurse in the cafeteria while I was scarfing down a big slice of pizza. She said she would look at it Monday or Tuesday. The anxiousness continues.

I did weigh myself on Tuesday and I stayed at 165lbs. Yeah!!!! I really feel good at this weight and has helped me feel a little more fit. I believe that has allowed me to work out a little more. The numbness in my feet is also going away and I have much better balance with the backing off of the meds. I hate to give cancer a break, but this coordination coming back is good though. The chances of falling goes down and thats a good thing with the platelets dropping. All this week I have had continous bloody noses. I not sure if its all the platelets fault. This dry air and the allergy to the cats doesn't help either as I am constantly blowing my nose.

Well, I am going to see if I can get on the roof and put up some Christmas lights. I thought the house would go bare this year with me being sick and the roof getting so much snow lately, but this weeks warm weather and rain has melted the roof clean.

Talk to you all later and have a great weekend,

Jeff
