Relieved

September 4, 2018

After speaking with my oncologist last week about possibly having to stop chemo my mind started racing. I was questioning how that would affect my prognosis which made me start thinking about my prognosis! Ugh I try not to go there. I was very emotional for a couple of days. I remember one night going to Marshall’s to return something and just balling my eyes out in the parking lot. I am realizing this process has many stages and I was in the “mad, angry, pissed off” stage haha. But it’s OK because after a few days of letting it all out I started receiving good news and was able to get back on track and stay positive! 

Went to PT Wednesday night and at this point my entire right leg was numb, all the way up to the buttock region lol! My therapist had me do a few stretches and said “Kel this isn’t neuropathy.. your SI joint is locked up which is causing your symptoms”. My mom and I looked at each other and we both let out a deep breath of air. SO relieved!! She gave me some stretches to do at home and I will see her again tomorrow night. 

In general I feel good! A little foggy at times, numbness in my hands and feet, and occasionally tired. But not bad at all!  

I am currently at chemo right now and my oncologist just reviewed my counts with me. All blood counts are within normal range meaning the injections are working 😊 So I will continue with 2 injections a week to maintain my white blood cell count and we are good to continue with chemo. Yay!!!

Happy belated birthday to the best sister in the whole world!! Love you
