WOW! It has been a long time since I updated my blog. For the most part, no news is good news when it comes to me. The last couple of weeks have been a mix of keeping up with the routine, reading a couple of books, and battling some nausea and fatigue.
I've had some good days and some not-so-good days. I've had some off and on swelling of my left leg (the one that had the clot). The doctor isn't worried because the swelling subsides after a few days of elevation. I ended up with an ear infection and am so thankful that Brittany could come to the rescue on a Friday evening to check it out! The on-call oncologist at Hopkins took her word for it and an antibiotic quickly cleared up the issue. I am learning how to deal with the fatigue and the nausea is more of a nuisance than anything.
I did see my oncologist two weeks ago and my tumor markers are elevated. We are hoping that the Faslodex will kick in soon and that will reflect in the next bloodwork. I do have a follow up brain MRI tomorrow and ask for prayers that it is clean. This will be the first MRI I have had since my surgery and radiation.
We are all glad that the days are longer and we are starting to feel that familiar warmth in the breeze that lets us know spring is on its way! Trent came home yesterday, changed into play clothes, and both boys played outside until it started getting dark. I can see my daffodils starting to emerge and I am hoping to put my Easter decorations out with the boys this week. Spring is definately on its way!
