Full disclosure

We're back on the rollercoaster :). I've been tired for about a month and keep waiting to feel better. For awhile it made sense that it was diet (it was summertime after all), but I've been doing better on the diet and still feel crappy. My teeth hurt sometimes, my sinuses hurt sometimes and my intestines aren't happy with me sometimes. There have also been a couple sore in my mouth, which I haven't seen since the last of the chemo. Last week I went to see Dr. Timmerman and he checked my thyroid and blood counts. Since we haven't heard anything, I'm guessing I'll get the card in the mail saying everything looked fine. Isn't odd when you go in HOPING for a sinus infection or a thyroid problem?? I also asked about anything I could think of, lactose intolerance, celiac, a flu bug that won't develop or go away, dehydration, ANYTHING but the big C. So this morning I finally bit the bullet and called Mayo and asked for the next scan to be moved up. We haven't rec'd a schedule yet, but it was supposed to be around the end of Oct.

I guess you look for any explanation other than the obvious.... it's like knowing there's an elephant in the room but still trying to figure out where that big pile of crap came from. So I haven't written anything, but since you're asking, it looks like I'll need your prayers, thoughts and good energy for a little bit longer. Please. In the time before the scan, I'll still be trying to figure out if there are other animals in the room that could also have left a pile of poo. You never know, maybe there's a rhino hiding behing the elephant!
