So I saw the oncologist this week before I got my treatment. She answered all my questions: the MRA, MRI and MRV all turned out to be fine. The double vision on the left eye is still present but she did not say I couldn't drive. So, that's great news for me :-) Of course, they will continue to monitor it as well as the Graves disease. She said I have eczema and this may be the cause of some of my pigmentation discoloration in several parts of my body. I am officially HALFWAY done with my treatments!!!! I AM SO EXCITED about that!!! Woo-hoo!!! Fortunately, it was Frendell's birthday yesterday when I went to the doctor, so I took him out to lunch and then celebrated with dessert afterwards. I am so grateful for so many blessings that God has given me and one of my greatest blessings is my darling Mahal. He has been my rock, my encourager, my strength and I can always rely on him, no matter what I need. I am so thankful to have in my life... and I am so blessed to call him my husband. Happy happy birthday, darling and may God grant you more years full of happiness, peace and health. I have made appointments for my mammogram and also a pelvic exam to make sure that I'm not developing any problems there. I have a heck of a sinusitis infection, although fortunately for me, I am not showing too many symptoms for... well, let me re-phrase.. at least I am not having sinus headaches. I have been getting alot of colds and low-grade fevers and coughing all through this summer :-( yuk My sense of smell has also diminished quite a bit. Other than that, I am doing well :-) Praise the Lord for His grace and mercy and healing!!! Juicing has worked; chemotherapy is working; exercise; eating well; having and living a life with purpose; having a wonderful and supportive and loving community; being grateful for all these gifts that have been given to me....so many factors are influencing the healing of my mind and my body. And central to it all is God's grace and love for me. I am humbled by this experience and I hope that I am a better person today than I was before my cancer.
Until next doctor's visit, live with purpose and joy, love with passion and be grateful for your blessings.
