The Good and Bad news of the CT scan yesterday....
« on: March 29, 2014, 12:43:12 PM »
Well my lower lymph nodes are 50 percent smaller... YAY! BUT... *sigh* they found a blood clot near my pelvis. They don't know how long it has been there or if the cancer had caused it or not. But my doctor immediately called my mother and told her to go to another center to learn how to give shots in my stomach. This was yesterday, shortly after I vomited and laid down to rest (I vomited right after taking my anti-nausea medicine). My mother told him about that and he told her that he'll ask the center to re-hydrate me and give me some anti-nausea meds thru my port.

My mother had a hell of a time getting my anti-clot meds. She had to go to another city (about 4 miles from the suburb I live in) to get them. I started my anti-clot medicine last night. It wasn't bad. A little sting and it fated within about 3 minutes. I need to take them for 3 months at least. And I need to watch myself of not getting scratched and my mother will tell my aides to be extra careful in transferring me with my ceiling lift.

Well, the blood clot is another chapter of the saga of Erik LOL

Hang in man, the main thing is the lymph nodes.

Brooke its called Lovenox. From I heard its practically new. The best thing about it is no diet restrictions which makes sense because my doctor wants me to eat as much I can. My mother is amazed by my appetite through out of my cancer journey.
