When it rains it pours

I've been sick since Thursday. I can't seem to turn a corner. My oncologist wants to start treatments ASAP, but the nurse was going to send me info on treatment and I still haven't received it. I would really like to read about it before I do it.

I go tomorrow for the big dye test to see if I have any tumors on any other organs. It is a two day tests, so I'll be busy. Thank goodness Gary is taking me because I can't drive.

Dr. Bala is weaning me off my steroids, they are for pain. Well, last night I woke up in the most terrible pain I've been in. It was like I had had surgery without any pain medication. It was my liver and that is one reason she wants to start treatment. I took have a steriod this morning and I'm feeling some better today, but I'm still in my gown. I'm a pro at resting.

Then, last night Gary opens the bedroom windows and turns on the fan. I am thinking, it must be cooler. This morning he tells me the AC went out last night. We need a new unit any way, but as far as time issues are concerned, another time would be better, but all we can do is replace it. Thank goodness we can.

I'll report to you tomorrow on my test. Should be interesting.
