Started back with chemo today....all three drugs. We were there from 9:30-3:00 long day! I will do two more weeks after today and then schedule the PET scan and see where everything stands! I also met with Dr. Davidner and he said everything looks good. I've been having a little pain in my side and have a mild cough. He thinks the cough is just related to allergies and nothing to worry about. He didn't feel anything out of the ordinary in my exam so just wants me to watch the pain and if it gets worse we will do some scans. But he told me how great it is that I am listening to my body and not blowing one little ache or pain off....he needs to know everything. Uhhh no problem! Here's what I've discovered, once you have cancer nothing feels like "just allergies". You listen to your body more than you did before. You feel every little tiny thing and you wonder what it is. You try and think to yourself oh it's probably "just allergies" but in the back of your mind you still wonder. Now really listening to your body and telling your doctor everything is what should have always been happening however if one did this they'd be considered a hypochondriac and crazy!! So what I've learned and can share with everyone......who cares let your crazies out, listen to your body and call your doctor too often!
