Went to my hematologist on Thursday and she said I am doing well. She increased my B-12 to 5000 a day and added a B-6 100 daily to the lineup. Most of what I take are vitamins, very few are actually medications. I am blessed. It looks like my neuropathy in my hands and feet will be lifelong as well as taking the vitamins I take as my body is not absorbing enough on its own anymore. It felt good to get out but boy was it hot. Also, Dorothy should be coming home on Tuesday. She is doing much better. We have been blessed with more time with our children which many don't get. Hugs and keep those prayers coming.
Quick update. My Vitamin B-12 is more than fine so back to the drawing board on what is causing the never-ending pins and needles in my hands and feet. I was told to keep my Vitamin B-12 where it is 2500 a day as even though my B-12 looks fine what my body is absorbing is still low. At this point, I have to give it to God because he is the only one who can take it away or give the Doctor insight to find what is causing it. Keep those prayers coming. Hugs.

I have been reluctant to share because I didn't really know how long things would last but as most people in my life know getting water down me is quite hard. I go for a while drinking water and then I won't drink water, of course having kidney problems and having to go to the bathroom often already sucks, but I was sent some Cirkul products to try and did a post on Youtube of my first reaction which you have to see and make sure to stay to the end, my husband kept the camera rolling and caught some off-camera footage.
With Cirkul I have been drinking water and actually enjoying it. I have only had 2 soda cans since starting and last night because my water wasn't cold yet I actually took one sip of the can of soda they gave me and said nope don't want it and drank more water. Don't get me wrong I only drank diet soda, juice, lemonade, tea both hot and cold, and milk mainly before Cirkul came into my life with very little plain water.
This morning I even took out my seated elliptical and did some steps. It has been forever since I have had this many steps in and we can already see the change in my energy levels. Mind you I don't think it is just Cirkul doing all of this. Part is because my tests are still showing no more cancer, I can get out and get some sun, and our bleeding disorder is doing a challenge for better health. They even sent me a Virgin Pulse MAX BUZZ activity tracker.
Either way, water is better for me than other drinks, and making small changes that can help my body heal and get healthier, means the longer I can be around for my family. I do adapt well but my health has always been put on the back burner to take care of my family. As I am aging and much more important after fighting cancer and having several major operations my body is screaming for me to notice that I need to take care of myself. So now it is time to do just that so I can be here for my family for years to come.

In closing, I hope you all take some time to take care of yourself in some small way. Hugs.
I had my biopsy done on May 11th and I wanted to clarify, that they are not testing for cervix cancer they are testing for uterine cancer. I should have the results in about two weeks. Prayers are welcome.
I had my Catscans on May 12, other than bruising my arm pretty good it went well. Today I got news from both my Oncologist and Gynecologist that the tests look good so I am good until my next set in Three months.
Had my blood drawn for my kidney function test, came home waited for my daughter to come with our pick-up grocery order, then she took Dennnis to the bank, picked up our medication, and then we waited for her boyfriend and bean to come before we all piled into both cars and set off to have our birthday dinner at the buffet for Nesie, Dennis, Bean and myself.
We had a good time and then left for home. Nesie and I were in one car and her boyfriend, Dennis, Dorothy, and Bean were in the other car. On the way home we hit a deer pretty bad. Everyone is OK, we were able to drive home, but Nesie's car is in need of repair. No airbags went off but her hood and front bumper are pretty bad and her headlights probably need to be realigned.
Even though I was the passenger I still put my hand out to try and keep Nesie from going forward, but I do have to say her seatbelts did what they were supposed to do and kept us snug as a bug where we needed to be. I might be in a bit of pain tomorrow but we are all alive and well. God is good.
Once we got back to our house we had cake but we forgot to take pictures until the candles had been blown out and it was cut. It was a tres leches cake with strawberry filling. It was very good.
I have had a few people call or text wondering what is going on with my tests and results. Well, it has been a big mess. We set up appointments back in April and Medical Transportation didn't want to take me out of county to see my Doctors so they had to fill out special forms so I could see them and get testing done. Once they were approved we set up appointments again to be told by medical transportation that the building didn't do what we were going there for, Someone had put the wrong code in so we had to put in another form request and that had to be approved.
While doing all this we noticed the form for my wheelchair/rollater was also expired and had to have that done. Finally, we set up all the appointments again, and bam the Catscan office called and asked when was the last time the Doctors did a Kidney function test on me. After checking with Doctors we found out not since last November so now I have to get a blood test before I can get any scans done which pushes my appointment with my oncologist even further out. With that being said I get my blood workup, my biopsy, and scans all done this coming week and will see my oncologist the following week God willing. I want to thank everyone for the continued prayers and for checking up on me. It means more than you would think. Hugs
