in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

Avastin infusion want well and the side effects seem minimal for now.  The fatigue is there and it is causing some digestive issues, no appitite, a little constipatio, and a little nausia.  I have a little pain in my lower right abdomaen and the area were I have a couple of tumors.  I had a visit with a orthopedist yesterday and she did come up with a plan. I can't remember the name.  On May 10 a radioloigist is going to inject me with a steroid with the help of imaging.  It may last for several months or as short as 4 weeks.  Sounds a lot like the shot you get for siaticaiatica.  It has to be more preside if a radiologist has to do it.  Also I have a list of a whole of blood thinners. I am not to use for a few days before.

Enough about me.

I have been trying to keep up with everyone. Often get tired before I finish though.  

Cheese Queen. I am glad you got a port it will save you much during chemo.  I didn't really have a back ache after my hysterictom, but I have had a lot of problems with my back since I had the external radiation.  I did have burning and itching along the incision that ran from my belly button to the top of my pelvis.  I had metal staples and at the me of each one I ended up with an infection.  When my Gyn-Onc/surgeon saw me at 2 weeks he said those staples were supposed to be non allergenic "hhmmm ". He told me to rub that area with vitamin e oil. And that actually worked.

I really have enjoyed looking at all the new pictures.  Ladies you are looking good.  

Hugs and prayer to all of you, Lou Ann

    LouAnn so nice to hear you

    and you have come with great news, I hope , pray and wish that the new treatment leads you right to NED. You are a brave warrior but we all wish you didn't have to be battling so many times. Keep strong my sister and nourish the body even when you dont feel like eating, sustaining the good cells aide's your fight. Oh how I wish I could physically hug you and whisper my appreciation for you teaching us that even when the going gets tough we must never give up fighting as there is good life to be lived amidst the mental and physical challenges  of stinking Cancer.

    You inspire and strengthen me for my fight ahead. Much thanks.

    Moli-stay courageous LouAnn, You are loved.
