A Little of This, A Little of That
It doesn’t look like there’s anything (tumor or degenerative disc disease, both of which are present) pressing on spinal cord or nerve roots, so I’ll just take the scan with me when I see the radiation oncologist next week and see if we can figure out what’s up.
I still get abdominal bloating and discomfort when I eat and have low-grade nausea not completely controlled by the Reglan. It’s finally starting to make my drive to and from work a bit challenging. For now I can handle it and plan to just keep an eye on it. I don’t particularly want my husband to have to do four hours of driving every work day to get me to and from work. I’m also very weak. Two flights of stairs completely do me in. I’m not sure what all of that’s about. I’m pretty sure the abdominal symptoms are from the Navelbine, which basically just puts the brakes on the entire GI tract. I’m hoping it’s also causing the weakness and that should get a little better as this week off Navelbine progresses.
We had a lovely visit with our North Carolina friends on Sunday and are now fully engaged in the planning and anticipation for our Texas trip. I’m going to cave and ask for a wheelchair for the airport activities.
