Today I met with the Oncologist t discuss the results of my MRI of the liver that I had done last week. The MRI from two months ago showed two lesions that were of concern for hepatic metastasis and the results were the same this time. Since we are unsure if it’s metastasized, I will have a biopsy done. This will put my mind at ease.
I’m still having pain in my feet to my hips which I’ve been taking morphine 30mg twice a day. Some days I have brekthrough pain so I take Lortab to help with that. It takes so long for the pain to subside. The doctor added gabapentin, three times a day, to my list of daily meds. The doctor will have me see a pain specialist soon, to see what they can do for me.
I am into my fifth week of radiation and I have three more weeks to go. My skin is so red and hot, just like a bad sunburn. It’s trying to blister in a few spots. The area of radiation is to the left breast, armpit and neck area. The radiation oncologist informed me today, that I may develope a sore throat since the radiation is hitting that area. I told her it already started. I thought I was getting a sore throat because of all the sickness going around but that’s not the case. She gave me some medication to help numb the throat.
My blood sugar tests aren’t looking the greatest either. The doctor says instead of the blood sugar going down, it’s actually going up. I am on diabetic medication twice a day. He says if i don’t bring my levels down soon, I may have to give myself insulin injections. I feel like I am just a complete mess at this point, but you know…tomorrow is another day and I WILL get through this.
