You all make my day. :D :tup: ;) This has been an intensive medical week for me. Last night I fell asleep in my recliner at 7 PM !!!! Completely exhausted.
Aug. 11th (Thursday) Had an appointment with my GP. The other specialists forgot to send her a copy of what has been happening to me for the last couple of months. She was really not happy. So I had to fill her in on the on the whats, wheres, and last strategie plans for me. She checked through the file to see the last reports that she didn't receive personally and was more than surprised that I was not missing any iron or other vital stuff. So basically, even with a stage 4 cancer, my body has extra reserves to deal with this. As for the fatigue and stuff, she finds it normal that I should feel that way and what is more important is that my body and mind seem to be really sound. She also agrees that this cancer is caused by my PTSD. She was also surprised when I told her that my PTSD is far worse to deal with than the cancer. The reality is ... for me ... it's not the cancer that I'm worried about or scared of ... it's all the outcome of the treatments - those are rough.
My doctor, my osteopath and myself all agree - we all have this deep down feeling that I'll survive this. Both of them gave me bear hugs when it was time for me to leave. :inlove::tup:
