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.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2014

I think I’m definitely having hot flashes.  I have no idea if it means actual menopause or maybe just temporary menopause until the radiation is out of my body.  My period is late by a week and that never happens.  I mark my period on my calendar and can count the days to the next one.  It’s always the same.  I always can pinpoint the day by the calendar, and down to the hour by my symptoms.  But this month I haven’t had the symptoms I normally get, and with it being a week late I’m thinking I won’t even get my period anymore.  That would be fine with me!  I finished all the antibiotics and now am no longer having any bloody pus coming out.  I wonder if that means I did have an infection or abscess?  If so, then I've had it a very long time, nearly a year off and on.
