Post-Op Visit

Today I went to see Dr. Hanna today to go over the surgery and what was found.

He said all the surgery incisions look great (still no sex for 6 more weeks) and the insides look good too. So that put me in a good mood considering I have been feeling better each day.

Now the kicker, the final evaluation of the site he did find cancer (outside the uterus area). So I have to take Magace which treats breast/uterine cancer instead of going through chemo or radiation.  Not real happy about still  having cancer in my body or the side effects of this new drug (weight gain).  I suppose this will get me motivated to get back to walking on the treadmill and keep an eye on what I eat.  I am not going back up to the 200s.  My next appointment with the doctor will be in 6 months.  They will send a reminder on making an appointment.  

So now I am home with this pathology report in front of me, stunned.  It hasn't hit me but I have to get some homework done, pick up my Rx and try to keep a positive attitude.  I know I am allowed to grieve and go through my own emotional process.  

Just wish I could catch some kind of break.  I know things happen for a reason just wish God would share His Ultimate Plan with me.

Wow. That is quite a shock. I guess the best news is that they caught it early before it spread.

Keep your head high, butterfly. Think of all the people you are helping and inspiring.

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
