I hate logging in to report bad news and for now I'll keep this brief. I've been experiencing a lot of pain since the last treatment and luckily I called first thing today. I got right up to the cancer center where they promptly had me rush to the hospital. After a day of testing they have found several blood clots up and down my jugular.
I'm still at home and for now will follow a regimen of daily self administered shots in my stomach, Coumadin and pain medication. Daniel is more freaked out that I am; I am just determined to take care of the problem. :)
More later and thank you for the prayers.
oh no! i'm glad they found the problem though :-(
ReplyDeleteblood thinners are no fun, but they work! i have three little boys to prove it! i have clotty blood and have to do shots in my stomach for about a year during and after pregnancies.
BIG HUGS CATHY!!!
hoping you feel better very soon!!!!

ReplyDeleteHey, girlie. I know you are probably frustrated with this setback, but please keep your head up and keep up the fight! You are so close and victory is right around the corner! I will say some extra special prayers for your today in hopes that the clots are gone very quickly and, more importantly, that the pain you are feeling goes away. Hang in there, my friend! You can do it! Love ya, Steph
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! You are so strong and courageous I can't even believe it! I am so in admiration of you Cathy! Lord please watch over Cathy and heal her body and bring it back into the strength of her mind and soul. Help keep her family strong and at peace. In your name we pray - Amen.

Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI know you are going to beat this. You've made it this far and we all know you can do it. Hang in there and know that not a day goes by that one of us isn't praying for you and thinking of you and wishing you well.
We support you and we think you are most awesome.
