Small amount of decent news at doctor today

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028333851

Maybe on the upswing for a change. Dr said my color and appearance was promising.

Still have massive pain and still very tender in the abdomen.

Go back next week and if things continue to improve then it will be time to test the chemical therapy treatment to see if that needs changed.


thank you all for your kindness and prayers and good thoughts.

Either diagnosis is awful in itself. I can't imagine having the combination.

You're stuck with one. I hope the other goes away.

but the last month I really thought and felt like I was dying and to be honest it would have been preferred.

My family told me that I looked horrible and my skin had no color to it, my voice was not normal and my eyes were sunk in.

My hair is also coming out in clumps and seems like it went grey overnight.

and chances are the hair will come back as you get stronger.

I've been that sick, also.

there's work to be done when you get healthy.

Very best hopes for continued good news.
