My name is Vicky. I live in Colorado. I'm 43 and a divorced mother of two. I'm a medical transcriptionist, and a writer. Less than two weeks ago I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, and I don't have a family history of colon cancer. Writing is my way of dealing with and processing what I'm going through. This blog is a way for me to do that for myself, my family, and anyone else who might benefit from it.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2014

The fatigue is really hitting me now.  I called in sick to work this morning because over the weekend I was feeling continuously more and more run down.  I had a bad night's sleep, waking every couple hours feeling like I was feverish but not having a fever.  I could hardly get out of bed this morning.  Of course my supervisor said it was fine for me to stay home.  I was planning on taking off Tuesday and Wednesday anyway, and she said that was fine too.  So now I have the rest of the week off work until Saturday.  Yay!  I really need to get some rest.

I called the surgeon's office to see about scheduling my surgery since I haven't heard from them yet.  They set me up for Monday, December 15, 2014.  I'm getting nervous as it gets closer.  I'm never in the mood for another surgery.  

I stopped taking the Phenazopyridine pills because I'm no longer having any urinary tract pain or irritation.  I'm still drinking my diet soda.  So maybe now that the radiation is over with the irritation cleared up.  Anyway, I didn't see the point in finishing out the prescription since I'm not having any more irritation.
