Right, I really didn't explain. I just had changed my address and
I think that made it were they questioned why I was here instead
of at home. Well at the hospital they knew I stayed here part of the
time.

Anyway I will make it work. I'm so glad Dale is coming to take
me to the doctor tomorrow. I wasn't looking forward to taking
myself. He is also going with me to one of the new doctors
on the 3rd of January. I am really curious what I will find out with
this vascular surgeon.

Donna

Ok, went to my primary doctor yesterday. Learned some interesting
things. Well not really wanting to, but needing to know that I needed
an mri and csan anyway they are scheduled for Jan. 19th.

THey are for some nodules on the adrenal gland that have been there for
10 years, which I believe is close to when I had my gallbladder removed and
two cyst off my ovaries. One went from 20mm to 24mm and the other
one went from 14mm to 28mm I believe. And a new to seeing nodule for
my lung 1.1cm and its being checked on too. I honestly can't remember which one's are being seen on mri and scan. But I think the lung one is scan.

I am in good spirits because they are all still considered small. And can be about anything. So I'm going to see what they are and then how we treat them. I'm fine with waiting till the 19th because that is when both test can be done same day. And my specialty doctor wouldn't look at one and see me without the other.

So it doesn't really matter. It also gives me time to find out what to do with the other things from the other doctor.

Donna

You have a lot going on all of a sudden. Thinking of you.

Thanks Lara.

Donna

We had a great christmas. Sure hope everyone else did. Dan, Derrick, Dale and I had it at Derrick's house. Dale did the cooking. He made Ham, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and we had some great desserts.

Donna

Anyone that might be around. I really have no clue why I still am so
tired and can't seem to get over the feeling of not feeling good.

I just don't seem to be able to get over the side hurting, and some of
the other things. I will continue to try but sure wish I knew how to
proceed.

HI Donna, I'm so sorry about how you're feeling. I know how it feels even though it's for different reasons. I will check in here more often to see if you've posted.

Firstly, I would imagine that the ischemic colitis alone would cause fatigue due to it being inflammatory. Inflammatory conditions do that. You won't really know more about a few problems that have shown up because you haven't had the MRI and CT until 19th January I think it was. The problem on your lung could be just a cyst and whatever it is is pretty small at 1.1cm. They're more common than people realize as we age. Sometimes they show up on kidneys too as well as in the lung.

Do remember though that you not long ago saw your Oncologist who basically gave you excellent results. Apart from your colitis which is a serious issue of its own, I think that if there was something else really serious it would perhaps have shown up as anomalies in your blood tests as well as in medical imaging if you had any before your last breast cancer appointment. Plus the docs wouldn't leave you too long. I wonder when you last had a PET/CT?

Inflammation causes fatigue. You need to keep warm if you can and rest as much as possible. If the pain gets too bad please do call your doctor or go see your doctor if possible. If you have more bowel issues or fainting episodes you really should go to hospital. I don't know if they're doing TeleHealth in your country but gosh it's been a wonderful thing at times for me.

I'm around a lot but just don't check here, but I don't like you feeling like this, it's not like you to feel so bad and I worry about you.

p.s. stay away from the spicy or fatty foods for now and ask the Doc about diet to help while you heal.

Do you have your own blood pressure machine at home. If your bp has gone too low again that could be causing you to feel really off (too high or too low can). Fatigue and not feeling right might be bp connected. I bought my own and it has been really helpful.

Are the roads open there??

>>>Edited later to add...
Tuesday night here now. I'll check back tmro when I wake up to see how you're doing Donna. I'm hoping you're feeling a little better. Don't forget to keep those fluids up like bizi said earlier. Talk later. Goodnight

Lara

Thanks, I've been watching the blood sugar, which is finally getting close to normal for me. Still a little high. But my blood pressure machine is out at my house so I'll have to go get it. Or just buy a new one. Its not as easy to tell the husband were it is and him find it. I go to the surgeon on Tuesday next week for the things they found at the hospital so that is when I'll get some answers from that. I will work on the blood pressure checking machine. I might have one that my mom had here somewhere just need to locate it.

Thanks for the thought Lara and help. I'm eating as best I can, and keeping fluides down for sure water, juices and lime lime soda. Yes, its not the best but better than caffenine now to get a answer for the migraines instead of caffeeine drinks would be great. Oh I drink lots of Hot Chocolate and hot tea too.
