Pain in lower left side.....

     So a couple of days before New Years I started having this pain in my lower left side. It comes and it goes but sometimes is really intense. So after about a week I went to see my regular doctor, Dr. Hales. He did all these tests CT, blood work, etc. When everything came back he called and said I can't figure out why you're having this pain. So we are on a watch and wait basis. He told me to tell the OB Oncologist (Dr. Dodson) that on the CT it showed a lesion on my adrenal gland. It was on the scan they did in St. George as well but not on a scan 8 years prior. It hasn't grown any since last May but he wanted me to make sure and let him know. I see Dr. Dodson on the 20th. I hope it isn't anything....I really don't want to have to go through chemo again soon. I am finally feeling strong enough to try and do some cleaning etc. around the house but I get so exhausted doing the smallest thing, then I have to sit down and rest for a bit. Each day I gain a little more stamina and can do more things than before I get tired. My hair on my head is getting a little longer, a little over a ¼ of an inch. Where I really lost my hair, some stubble's are starting to come in (its like 2 different lengths). Around the house I just go bald unless my head gets cold, then I put on a hat. If I'm going out for the day, like to the doctors or something, I wear my wig. I have to use glue in a couple of spots to keep it on. To get the glue off is a different story! Goof Off would work great but I'm not sure I want to see it get absorbed into my brain. I tried everything; peanut butter, olive oil, soap, vegetable oil, rubbing/picking it out etc. Sometimes it pulls out some of the new hair that's growing in :(... I finally tried some oil free makeup remover and that works the best!
Well Dad gets his cast off this Wednesday, January 14th and the pins taken out. Then we'll see how things look.
