I ended up spending Monday afternoon at Parkview in the ER because I had a headache and blurred vision in the morning. I wasn’t sure what to think about the symptoms, so I called the oncology office and talked with the nurse. She recommended that I check into Parkview for tests that day, so that’s where I went. I felt pretty stupid going to the ER because I wasn’t sure if my blurred vision wasn’t just my contacts acting crazy.
Turns out that these symptoms are pretty serious, and everyone agreed that I should have come in. They ran another MRI of my brain, and it WAS CLEAR! PTL. After a long afternoon of waiting, they determined that I might have had a migraine episode in the morning.
My treatment was postponed until Tuesday morning, and it went great! They accessed my port on Monday at Parkview, so we left that in for my treatment. I didn’t have to wait in any rooms since I wasn’t seeing the doctor or getting blood work. They let me go right back to the chemo room when I arrived, and I was done and out of there in 1 hour. That’s a record!
I’m feeling good this week since I haven’t had to take the Valpedine, except for my cough which has made my ribs very sore. I’ve gotten a prescription for cough medicine to try, so that may get used tonight.
I can’t believe how many hits this blog has gotten, and I appreciate each and every prayer and thought on our behalf. You are all lifting me and my family up and carrying us through a tough time. Bless you.
