I've been in a lot of pain lately and when I got my tumor marker test results it explained everything. Unfortunately, it's higher than ever before at a whopping 301.2. If you recall, last month was 191.9 and I was freaking out. I go to see Dr. Rohatgi tomorrow and who knows what the game plan will be. Maybe this oral chemo isn't working either, I don't know! All I can think is that when I was having chemo infusions, my numbers were looking pretty good, now they're off the charts :(
Tonight I had a HUGE scare. I took 2 percocet and decided to take a nice warm bath. When I was ready to get out, I got to my knees and then baring all of my weight on both of my arms, I knelt up to get out of the tub, only problem was that my right arm almost gave way as the most excruciating pain I've ever felt tore through my arm. I thought for a moment that I'd broken it this time, I wailed out in pain. Jordan came running to help me as I stood there crying, helpless. Jordan insisted that I call John although I knew he couldn't do anything from work. He was, however, able to calm me down and suggest that I put my arm in a sling so that I could rest it. Johnny was also working tonight, otherwise we might have ended up in the ER. I'm glad we didn't though because now it's much better and at least I know for sure it's not broken. Since I go to the doctors in the morning, I should be fine for the night. I guess I won't be taking any baths in the near future w/out John being home to help me. We've talked about installing a bar to make things easier for me, that would be great.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
