Was yesterday and everything looks normal! That was amazing: a Dr's appointment and I didn't leave with a new worry.
We scheduled the liver MRI for the beginning of April and I will see the Dr right after that. It will be a 2 month check up (rather than 3) but that's fine. If I don't have to see her for a full 2 months that is awesome actually.
For the blood draw my port caused a little trouble, if I had not had it flushed just a few weeks ago I would have worried. The saline went in fine, it just would not let blood come out. We tried all the tricks I had learned last year, only one cough temporarily allowed some blood but then stopped again. So the nurse took me to another room and had me lay down. And that did the trick!!!
I am still recovering from the cold/sinus infection. Tuesday evening we had to go to urgent care because my fever wouldn't go down even with Advil (103F/39.7C), I had a caugh for about a week now and I was worried that the cold I was so proud to be fighting off had turned into a nasty bacterial infection (pneumonia?)
They examined me, had blood work done and a chest X-ray. Everything seemed normal so they prescribed antibiotics for sinus infection (+ the dr who checked me found out that he himself had strep so I hadbeen exposed to Strep and they didn't want me to get that either).
What was slightly upsetting/annoying was that as soon as I mentioned the stupid BC, and chemo, the doc started asking questions like "are there local recurrances? What is your status now? Is the cancer gone?". I understand why they have to do that but it was annoying that a stupid cold/24 hr high fever bug has to bring up the can of stupid cancer worms.. I know I know I have to get used to the fact that it is part of my health history now and will always be in the background. But I still can be annoyed by it right??
Anyway life is good, it is Friday! I have the best family.
Wishing you all a Happy Weekend!
