I haven't posted on here in a while, mainly because I haven't been at the computer other than work much lately. Still taking my oral chemo meds, back up to full dose. The nausea and fatigue are pretty bad but thankfully the joint pain has subsided for the most part so I can get through a day.
My next pet scan and brain MRI are set for the first week of November so hopefully the meds are still doing their job. I have been having some problems with my vision and headaches last week or two, fingers crossed it is just the medications.
The AF has begun evaluating me for a possible medical retirement based on my prognosis. Nothing like giving the military 17 years to be shown he door when you need them the most. Still, if I end up getting pushed out it won't be until at least next summer, more to come on that.
We are anxious for these next scans. I suspect it will either be really good or really bad. It is hard not to attribute every twinge, every headache, every muscle spasm to a possible new tumor. Maybe it really is all in my head ;)
Tori is having a hard time dealing which everything and I am trying to help out whenever I can but of course it never feels like I am doing enough. This is what I get for being an overachiever I guess. Still, we have each other and the girls and that means more to me than anything else in this world. When I get the scan results I will post again.
