Third Week

The first doctor I saw today was my oncologist, Dr. Bala. She is getting very impatient with the dye coming from Europe. She is wanting to get started on my shots soon. I'm getting impatient with MDAnderson, but I will be calling tomorrow until I get an answer. My bone scan came back negative which is good. I asked her why some people have surgery and some shots. I have too many lesions on my liver but we will be treating my liver later with radiation. That's the plan right now.

Then I saw a new PCP, Dr. Pegamy in the same building. Dr. Bala had tested my blood sugar and it was high so she's making me see a PCP. I'm glad she pushed it because he did a urine test and I have glucose in my urine. It's another side effect from my pancreas but I'll do anything to feel better. I've had days where I couldn't drink enough liquids. I'd have the sweats day or night, and I would be shakey. He gave me some pills to help me and I will go to classes to help me with my new meter and education to eat correctly.

So, basically I had good and a little bad news. My prayer is still for God to remove this cancer from my body. I want my faith to be renewed everyday to believe that He will take it away. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and especially the food for my family.
