Here is the wonderful machine that I get to hook up with everyday. The nurses are great and they have a good sense of humor. The machine basically rotates around my body and makes some funny noises. The process takes about 5 minutes, it takes me longer to get undressed :)
I had my check up with the oncologist on Friday and everything seems to be going as planned. I am right on schedule with my treatment. He had me try a new drug to help with my hot flashes (which, by the way I think I am WAY to young for) Well, I took the first dose and I just can't seem to tolerate this type of drug. It makes me feel really bad and I think I will just tolerate hot flashes for now. I did buy some natural supplements and hopefully that will help too.
I still have my medi port and have to get that flushed every 4-6 weeks or so. They seem to want to keep this in until after radiation for a "just in case" situation. I don't really agree with that so, after my bone scan, I am going to ask to have it removed. The flushing just brings back bad memories and I would just like to leave all that behind me.
I am feeling pretty good and I just know that the more time that passes, the better off I will be.
