I'm okay
I've been overwhelmed lately (the past few months!) with my job, so I'm not on nearly as much as I used to be, or as I would like to be. I just noticed that there were more posts on the thread about my pain. I wanted to let y'all know that all the other blood work turned out fine. The only issue shown (by those tests,anyway) is the low potassium. I do have an appointment with the oncologist on Monday and with the gastroenterologist in 2 weeks. Oh, and my mammogram is next week, too! Anybody else want to have a look? *grins*
Anyway, I'm still having PAIN, and it's not necessarily in the area where I've had pain ever since my colon resection. We'll just have to see what everybody thinks!
*hugs*

There's a way to cup the hands around a breast to check for
nodules and lumps without pain.
I'm not sure of I've mastered that technique yet or not, but
I can stop by and give it a whirl if you'd like!
Good luck with it all, Toots!
My best,

Glad you are fine but feel sorry for your pain issues Gail!Sundanceh said:4700 +
With all of that support, you've earned some time off:)
You can get a potassium infusion, Kim had one once...she reported that it 'stung' going in, but it did help her.
Best wishes on your test and hope the pain becomes manageable...

Oh, boy! *L* Since I'm a happily married woman, I guess I'd better stick with the painful way of doing it. Thanks for the offer, though. *grins*

Oh, I've had that before, and it felt like my arm was going to drop off. I will run the other way to avoid it!

P.S. This didn't post under Craig's comment. That potassium hurt like the dickens!0
