No pictures to post but did want to update on my treatments....had a "FUN" colonoscopy Friday and everything looked great (I guess that would depend on who's looking)! No polyps, nothing. Today I went to my surgeon for a follow-up and he said I was doing great....no problems! Other than being terribly tired some days I feel pretty good. Have lost about 40 pounds all together..which I needed to lose...and love buying new clothes! I have not lost any hair nor have I been sick for which I am so Grateful!!
I have completed 7 chemo treatments and have 5 to go which should finish out at the end of April. Look out May, I'm going somewhere!!!
I think the worst of all this is the sensitivity to cold. Can't drink anything cold; can't touch anything cold..it's like touching 220volt electric..Patrich Swazey said that and it is SO TRUE!! I am addicted to Pepsi and haven't had one in several months cause it has to be cold or I don't want it. I forget and try to open a door and the knob is freezing...doesn't take me long to let go of it!!
I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me and had me in their thoughts. You are ALL a gift from GOD and I love you dearly!!
