Finished Week 3!

-
All symptoms from radiation are still haywire but today I got to talk to the nutritionist and she gave me some ideas on what foods (not drugs or supplements) that can help with diarrhea.  Very happy about having foods versus man-made garbage.  So I am going to read this over and start planning my meals out better.  I know I only have about 2 weeks of treatments left but I want to have some kind of normalcy during that time.

I also talked to the doctor about the internal treatments and if they can wait until after Labor Day weekend.  I know it is still early but I wanted to make him aware that I am not going to drive from East Lansing to Detroit for a 20 min procedure.. and then feel like shit afterwards.

I do enjoy the few minutes I have before my body shuts down after radiation.  Especially today with the sun out and so pretty.  I know it is just a matter of time until I pass out.  I am glad I am only doing radiation.  Could not have imagined having chemo on top of this.  POISON POISON POISON!

Anywho...going to have some breakfast, see what my body does with it and watch me some ID channel :)

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.
