Been a little crazy but all is well on the cancer front. Treatments have gone well and as normal, strange things pop up each time. This last visit, I told the doctor I was having some fuzziness with my peripheral vision. That bit of news generated an MRI. One of the side effects of the drug is that it can cause there pituitary gland to swell. If this happens, it puts pressure on there optic nerve and causes issues with vision. Luckily, the pituitary gland was OK. One bonus of three last treatment was I did not have to get benadryl. The doctor did not order it so I caught a break. The great thing is I have been able to stay active, working, and doing the things I love. My family has been very supportive and has taken very good care of me.
In 2003, I was diagnosised with melanoma. Following surgery, tests showed no more cancer. In 2010, I found a lump below my right ear. It was removed and again found to be melanoma. A second surgery has left scars on the right side of my face. This is my journey!
