I am battling Breast Cancer. It's not Hormone positive so I am going to be taking chemo first then full radiation. Between having this I am having problems with my eye site. I have Macular Degeneration. My right eye has the dry kind and my left eye has the wet kind. If that isn't bad enough I started having floaters and flashes of light in my left eye. The two aren't related as far as the Macular Dengeneration...

2-8-10 Had my 3rd chemo had to stay in Goshen for 2 nights because of a blizzard, we were under a snow storm warning. 2-09-10 had my infusuion injection. Got to come home around 9:30 Am stopped for breakfast I could eat much, felt bad that I wasted food. We had bought food at Wal-Mart and kept it our motel room to eat while we there. Enjoyed that. The food at the motel for the breakfast was only bagels and cereal. I couldn't eat what they had. Feeling losy right now,,, sick. My son in law drove 30 miles and shoveled out our driveway so we'd be able to get in our drieway. That was so nice of him. We can't go get our dog. My sister in laws drive is drifted shut. My brother in law will plow there drive out and bring our doggie home. Miss our Isabella...

Finished my first session of chemo Monday. This next session isn't suppose to make me feel as bad. Hopefully they are right. Starting to feel bad and my eye sight is getting blurry. I hope I get through these next 4 chemo followed by my 33 radiation treatments ok and I never have to go through this again. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. That is if I had any...

Completed chemo. Had some bad days and didn't post for a while. I see a radiation oncologist Monday. I thought I was going to get a break between the treatments. I had a ultrasound and mammagram because of a lump I felt and my medical oncologist felt' It was in my lymph node and it's benign. I had blood work for cholestrol and it was 310. My family doctor put me on cholestyramine powder. I had a ctscan because of blood in my urine. I have a kidney stone and I also have gallstones. I knew about the gallstones. I had problems with severe stomach pain right after I started Chemo and was sent to a gastroenterologist and had upper endoscopy: and lower colonoscopy and found out I have a spastic colon and one benign colon polyps. The GI doctor sent me for a ctscan, blood work for Stool for ova, parasites, Crohn's disease, Celiac Disease and pancreatic cancer. gallstones were found. I hope my insurance will cover all these xrays, scans and test I've had. I hope and pray that I can get through the radiation My eye sight is getting worse with the Macular Degeneration. I know this is a lot to write on my site but this is also a referance for me to come back and check out different procedures and test I've had done.
