Of discomfort, nausea, and other less pleasant symptoms? This last AC scheme hit me hard, and I have been dizzy, weak and feeling awful pretty much most of the time.
I made a case of not complaining too loud, because it is the last one. But it has not been pretty.
Tomorrow is our appointment with the onc surgeon. He will examine the state of the heroic boob, and I am sure that he will be pleased to see that the scar finally looks completely sealed. Maybe he will give me some tips to make it fade quicker? He might even explain why, when I touch the left end of the scar, it tingles beneath my arm, almost on the back... I feel like this frog I read about in primary school, whose belly skin had been replaced with back skin and, as a result, he would scratch his back when touched on the belly. :)
Supposedly the doctor will also prescribe my full PET, which will finally let us know if the gremlins are gone. I think that they are gone, for good. At night, when I wake up because of the hot flashes, I sometimes wonder if there might be a trace left of the cancer. But I always feel that the answer to that question is a definite and non-negotiable NO. Now I want to hear it from the doctor. I want the ultimate scientific proof.
Don't hold your breath. It will take a couple of weeks til we get there...
When NO is the best word in the world! I've had a bad feeling about gremlins since I lived in Minneapolis and drove to work with a co-worker in his Gremlin, a death-trap of a car made by American Motors Corp ... made doubly more dangerous by the driver's tendency toward inattentiveness. So, out with your gremlins!
