    Still here!
    I been here, and posted on a couple of things, sorry, I skip over the argumentive ones, I'm neutral to everything.

    But, the incision from my surgery seems to be done healing from the wound vac, it did a great job, and fast! I go to the surgeons unit tomorrow for them to check it, and they will probably take me off the wound vac tomorrow...yay!! No more lugging that thing around.

    I haven't had chemo since my surgery 5 weeks ago, and boy have I been feeling good since I been off it awhile, and went to see my oncologist on Monday, who will be restarting my 4th treatment on May 13, I been eager to get it restarted, since I'm fearful of the cancer spreading. I get my first CAT scan on May 8, and have to drink some stuff an hour before it, they said I couldn't eat or drink anything for 4 hours before it..I'm scared of what I have to drink, I hope it isn't too bad to get down, or I'll be gagging it back up!

    Thanks for checking up on me, I been lurking around, but just kinda letting things cool down here, and I love all you guys, I think about you all, all the time, and hope everyone will stay and keep on posting, you are all inspirations here, and the reason I am going strong today...sure, God keeps some people going, but so do all of you!

    Hugssss to you all!

    CT Scan
    Hi Donna,
    Worry not, what I have been drinking for the scans is flavored with raspberry flavored Crystal Light. The only "bad" part is that it's diet. Don't care for the aftertaste but it's not bad at all compared to what we used to have do drink. I'm pretty sure you would be drinking the same stuff.
    Try not to worry but if you're not used to it I can understand.
    Be well

    Now that....
    ....doesn't sound so bad! I heard it was better then the stuff they gave me before my colonoscopy, which was this pineapple thick textured flavored "Golightly" stuff, and it was just disgusting, it didn't taste like pineapple, and I was almost at the puking point by the end.. they had me drink a gallon of it! I think it's the texture that made me more sick then anything, I like diet crystal light, now if they give me that, I'll be happy! soundss yummy!

    Hugsss to you!

    Glad your ...
    feeling good right now...I know how that feels when I was off chemo for an extra week because of side effect. Good to hear you're feeling well now and recouped after the surgery. I wish you well and hope you post again.
