Did I run over someone in a past life?
I think I am paying for some past life crime or something. I have been feeling unwell for the past week and even ended up in emergency again after my GP examined me last Thursday as she thought my right lung was 'quiet', supposedly should be noisy when listened to through a stethoscope, and I had a mild temp as well. I find it's sometimes hard to tell with temperature because of the damn hot flushes. So off we went to emergency (we can just about point the car and let it drive itself). Apparently I fainted in the waiting area which scared the hell out of my husband but we got into the treatment area quick smart, a bit of a perk :). The treating Doctor also thought my lung was 'quiet' so I had more tests - bloods, chest X-ray, CT scan and urine test. We were there for hours. Soooooo boring! Fortunately, most of the tests were okay apart from one small blood clot which appears to be blocking an artery in my upper right lung. According to the Doc, it is concerning but not overly so and they let me go home. I was told I'd be a little short of breath especially if I overdid things and to be careful. If I notice I am having more difficulties breathing, he said to get down to emergency. Well that's stating the obvious isn't it.
To top all this off, today I phoned my GP as directed by the hospital to check on the urine test results and what do you know, I have a UTI and am now on antibiotics. I don't have any burning sensation just a frequent urge to go but my GP said the infection might be an upper UTI which apparently doesn't have that symptom. She said we might have to have some tests on my kidneys.
Well at least I now know why I'm so tired and lethargic. A result of yet another infection. I may need to have an exorcism performed soon LOL

Amazing flower for an amazing lady!!!
Forgot to mention I will be having 6 treatments, one every week.
Yes Janey, I did sort of start my radiotherapy I had a talk with my radiotherapist and then went and had a CT scan and they put the tatoos on me. So glad your feeling better. Take care.

- I'm doing much better and I think the UTI has cleared up. I think the needles affect my husband now more than me. He doesn't like inflicting pane. So I do my best, grit my teeth and try not to cry out. Believe it or not I think it helps with the pain. You must have started your radiotherapy today. I hope it all went well. How often do you have to do this? Thanks for thinking of me. Love Janey xxx
Janey I can't believe everything your going through. I agree with you regarding 2013 must be the bad luck in the 13. I was reading your blogs and found that you are also suffering UTI's I have never had one of these prior to the chemo and found that the docetaxol sparked it on a week after each treatment. I was told to take cranberry juice also and to stay away from freshly squeezed orange juice which made it worse for me anyway. So sorry to hear about the injections continuing for longer than 3 months I hope this is the last of the bad news for you and that from now onwards you only have good news. Keep smiling Janey and remember you are always in my thoughts.
