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.
