Wednesday October 1, 2014
My radiation appointment wasn't as long today. One of the nurses let me know that each week I'd need to go get lab work done so they could keep an eye on my blood counts, and that I could do it whenever was convenient for me. I decided that Tuesdays would be my lab days.
They also had me meet with my radiation oncologist doc after my appointment and he said he'd meet with me each Wednesday to see how I'm doing. He said the results of my ultrasound were all clear, nothing to worry about. So that was good. I let him know I'd been having abdominal pain, but that I'd also been eating more normal since I started feeling better last week. He said it's still a little too early for it to be due to the radiation yet, but that in time I would be feeling more pain because of it. We talked about my slowed bowel movements and how that was likely causing me pain because of how large the tumor is and taking up a lot of room in there. I told him I'd been using Miralax and that it helped, and he said to continue doing that. I didn't have as much pain today. He gave me a pep talk and said that I was doing great so far. WEIGHT 139.7
