I Should Read My Blog More Often

It's been 9 months since I've come back to my blog. I suppose that's good and bad. Good means that I haven't had a lot of things to report on the cancer front. Bad because I hadn't realized that the side effects of the shots had been so prevalent since the very beginning. They seem to have gotten progressively worse. We went to Chicago and Wi in May and on the last day I was barely able to get out of bed...terrible headache and very dizzy. I so did not want to make the 13 hr trip home. When we got home, I was ok but a little "woozy". Then a week or so after I was so tired and so dizzy that I went to the ER. I had just started an antibiotic for a uti and thought it was the cause but the ER doc said it was vertigo. Who knows for sure. I don't think they look at patients as a whole and only look to diagnose one part of a whole problem. Gotta love doctors.

I saw my oncologist 2 wks ago and we decided not to have the shot again. It did was it was suppose to to...to stop my cycles so that there was no estrogen for the cancer to attach to (for lack of better word.) So far, so good. I am worried about my cycle coming back...9 months without is pretty nice :)

Prayerfully, all is well. I just keep trusting that Jesus has made me whole. I don't dwell on the cancer. I honestly don't think about it much. Of course it's always in the back of my mind but I think satan just wants me to be down in the valley instead of on top of the mountain. I choose Jesus and the mountain.
