Hi Ladies
As you know, I have been having a few setbacks in my recovery. But also I feel like I am heading in the right direction even with the setbacks.
I will be admitted into the hospital Mon or Tues for an over night (hopefully) stay to receive the blood transfusions. I see this as a positive step. I clearly need the blood to help me get on the right path.
The swelling is a new scary for me. Since the doc thinks it is either heart or liver related, I am in for a lot more testing to find out the cause and to treat it.
This is not a positive. Seems that I am taking a step forward and a step back. I am learning to except what is. Although it is not easy.
The best positive is that my CA-125 is 7! I have never been a 7. The lowest I ever reached was 17. So I say HOORAY to that!
Every positive brings me a little closer to feeling good again and to be healed.
Thank you all for being such a wonderful group of POSITIVES in my life.
Huge hugs for all,
Lisha
