in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

Well, been awhile since my last post, wont see the Onc til the middle of May sometime, she wouldnt do the PET scan because i had the bone density scan and hip x ray and she said too much radiation etc, well the bone density scan shows osteopenia which means steriods were most likely to blame, its the begining stages of osteoporosis, which she said i am way too young to have, so i am on actonel, one tab a week for a few months, this Dx of osteopenia came from my primary who i saw today, dont have to see her until Dec, she said what ever i am doing to keep doing it, im losing weight slowly, which is great she said, my cholesteral was good and triglycerides too, so i am gonna run with it and enjoy myself, weather has been great and i am gonna start my garden soon, have a great weekend all.

    Maybe not the news you wanted to hear but it sounds like the Dr. is pleased with how you are doing overall.  Good luck.

    Glad to read your post!

    It's a slippery slop we live on, hang in there and ENJOY all the blessings life offers!

    70 degrees and sunshine, works!

    It feel like there is always something going on in our lives, personally I welcome any break.  May this break give you peace, tranquility, strength and grace.

    It's been a rough week, my tank is empty but darn glad for the positive vibes and well anything......

    Weather

    It was in the 70s this last weekend in Chgo. Today it dropped to the 50s. I'm glad I at least spent time outside on Sunday. I am back inside today, wrapped in a blanket.
