I saw my oncologist last week. No changes in my liver tumors! Still friends with miss Mable. I had two interesting things on my scan though. The First was a sub-acute right rib fracture of the eight rib. Now I know where that pain was coming from! I know when I did it too but not why it fractured. I bent over to move bucket of water and something "popped" in my ribs. It hurt like hell and still does. I thought that perhaps I popped a muscle. My oncologist didn't even mention it. I saw it when I asked to read the report. Then I asked him. It was the very first comment. I think he only reads the
conclusion at the end... When I did say something, then he asked me if I fell. I was like "no". He said it didn't have bearing on my cancer so???
The other interesting (funny) thing of note was a "new globular soft tissue density in the left buttock subcutaneous tissues. Hahaha. It could be a Sando shot that didn't go deep enough into the muscle (what a waste of money). If it get bigger (it's 1.6 cm) then we will know if it is or not. I did mention my heart palpitations. He said nothing about the EKG I had. He seemed
clueless unconcerned about that even though carcinoid can cause them. It really makes me miss my old oncologist. I'm debating on whether or not to switch centers so I can go back to him.

| Not my ribs! 8th rib is the one I fractured! |
The next day I had an appointment with my GP (she's an internist) for a prescription refill (I hate having to go into the doctor just to get a refill but some meds require a yearly visit I guess). I told her about the heart palps, the rib fracture and she was concerned. She was going to pull up my old Holter monitor results and echo cardiogram from 2012. She wanted me to do the Holter monitor but when I told her I had and how big a pain it was she said she'd "see". She also said fracturing my rib that way is NOT normal. Wants me to have a DEXA scan to check my bone density. I'm getting that on Wednesday. Hope my bones are ok.
Oh, forgot. When I got my Sandostatin shot, the needle clogged. Not once, but twice! She has to stick me 3 times!!! I've never, ever had a needle clog.
All-in-all, good news. Me and Mable will hang out for as long as we can!

ReplyDeleteIt is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
ReplyDeleteIt is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,Dairies,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
