CT Scan
This afternoon was my CT scan of my head. Pretty uneventful. A needle to give my some contrast die, moved into a machine and lay still for about 10 minutes. That was it. I will hopefuly hear something before the long weekend.
I have asked to cut my steroid pills in half and see if they give me the same amount of relief without the side effects and the long weaning process when I get to stop taking them. The doctor said to try it but if the headaches came back to return to the original dosage. So far so good.
I am off scrapbooking to Pincher Creek this weekend. Nice way to put cancer behind me and focus on pictures from a time when cancer didn't rule my life.
I will write with my test results as soon as I get them.
Next Thursday is my appointment with my medical oncologist and Friday is Chemo/Herceptin day. Hopefully this one comes with no side effects. Knock on wood!!
With love,
Carolin

Have a great time scrapbooking! I still keep thinking of an old blog of Sandy's that talked about how fast the glue must dry in Pincher Creek with all that wind -- too funny. Enjoy yourself! Rebecca

If you ever run out of things to scrapbook I have four children and now four grandchildren that I haven't done books for!!!! (just wanted to give you something to do in case you are bored!!)
Saw you outside watering plants the other day with Jessica and hoped you were feeling better. Then read your website about your headaches. You really are a strong gal.
Hugs, Cheryl K

Bonjour mon amie!

You are always in my heart.
Hope your daughter had fun swimming. My girls loved their lessons.
Je pense à toi! (thinking of you)
