So I was in the ER again yesterday but I knew I would be. When I left Hamilton Friday my Oncologist said if I still wasn't feeling well with another issue I'm dealing with (I will leave full disclosure out here) lol to go to my local ER. So I did. Now, I'm impressed on how quickly I was seen. I arrived at 1:15pm at the ER and by 2:10pm I was assessed, in a room and already had full blood work done, xrays and CT Scan. Then it was the waiting game on results. Of course I also got 3 more bags of saline in me which just seems to instantly make me feel better. Thankfully my results all came back showing good and/or as expected and I left with what I needed to cope through the next few days. But I'm telling you, this chemotherapy is a bitch. I'm not going to lie.
I see Dr. Torres tomorrow to discuss the chemotherapy. I have many questions and I want some firm answers to my questions before I make any decisions either way, so we'll see. Ultimately though it is my decision whether I want to continue with the chemotherapy or not and I hope that if I decided not to, that even if people didn't understand why I didn't, that they'd at least respect my choice.
I didn't get much of a long weekend to enjoy since I was in the ER, but since it was a long weekend it means I'm heading into a short week of treatment. Yay! That means I only have 4 radiation treatments this week, 1 lab appointment and 1 radiation review appointment with my Oncologist. So hopefully it also means I'm feeling better this week and I'm mobile, unlike last, and I can get out and do stuff!
