Well a new month, a new start. I went to go see the oncologist and he gave me a new start date for my chemo. I start tomorrow (Feb 13th) I was supposed to start it 2 weeks ago, but I explained to the doctors and nurses that I was feeling really good and didn't want to feel sick, they understood and said that 2 weeks would not make a difference. I will take this chemo for 5 days and then off for 28 and then on again. Hope it goes okay.
I have also started taking my blood thinner shots for the clots in my leg and lungs. I feel they have started to work a little bit, my leg seems less swollen and I breath a lot better now too then I did before. I gained some muscle in my opposite leg then the one that I have the clot on because I seem to favor it more, but gaining muscle is a good thing, means I am regaining some of my strength since this all started instead of losing it. I have also been given compression socks to wear to stop more clots from forming and to help with the ones that are there already.
I have an appointment on the 22nd with my oncologist about my chemo just to see how things are going and then I am free of appointments (i think) until March when I have my MRI scheduled.
Not to much more going on as of right now, will update if anything comes up.
