What I haven't shared until now because of the fact that it's "girl talk", I'm going to go ahead and discuss now. So if you can't handle it...I'll give you a moment to walk away :) jk, it's not that bad. Remember that I'm on two meds for my chemo treatments (Taxol & Avastin) and Avastin has a side effect of having trouble with bleeding & clotting. Well, my menstrual cycle started up on 12/15 and has continued for 14 days. That's extremely unusual for me and so I called and made an appointment over this past weekend. Since it's the "weekend" staff and nobody was available to see me, they scheduled me for this morning. In the meantime, John, the kids, and I went to San Jose to celebrate our Christmas with family and knew that we'd have to head home early due to this appointment. Naturally, my cycle was about finished this morning, however, they still wanted to see me.
The doctor walked in and immediately said, "I'm sorry I'm going to have to cause you pain today." and I just looked at her and said, "what?! why?" and she proceeded to tell me that she had to do a biopsy because she was concerned about the lining of my uterus. WHATEVER!! Why me? My first thought was....damn, I shouldn't have called and made that appointment :( especially since it finally stopped on it's own. Damn! I asked if John could come in and be with me and she didn't have a problem with that. It was a short procedure, but hurt like hell :( Why can't they have some sort of anesthesia for a procedure like that?!
Well, it's done and I'm okay for now. We'll know the results soon (maybe in a couple days). I don't know a lot of answers right now, other than the fact that they're watching me for bleeding. I sure hope all goes well because I think this medication is working for me, other than that.
In closing, I want to say that we had a WONDERFUL time in San Jose with family (as usual), but it's always way too short. I want to thank Marcy & Terri (TT) for the lovely dinner, along with Bob, Erin & Ryan for the Nunes Inn, Pauline (Nana), Charley, Robby, Allan & Hayden for all the love a family could possibly give. And thank you for letting Johnny hang out for another couple days, he looks forward to visiting SO much.
Peace to you all! Genie
