Hi Everyone,
I just though I give everybody a little update. I have not been on the site for awhile because I had to get target radiation to my T6 the doctor said everything look ok but I will have to MRI every 3 months. Right now I have been in the hospital since Thursday due to dehydration and I also been having diarrhea for 3 days doctors can't find out what wrong going to have the scope test. The only good thing is no one can't tell me I'm full of sh## (LOL).

    Good to hear from you
    Glad you posted - we've been worried about you! Are you taking iron by any chance? I had severe diarrhea long after my chemo finished. I had been on iron b/c of anemia brought on by the chemo and once my dr. took me off of that, the diarrhea stopped immediately. All the doctors were quite surprised since iron generally causes constipaton.

    Hospitals can be frustrating but I hope you are getting rest. No housework and no cooking and dishes is the only good part. Keep us posted and hope things look up for you soon.
