Scan and Test results.

 I haven't really written about my health issues since it all began but will be backtracking and adding in posts and hope to be able to have them in some kind of order if you would like to go back and read from the beginning. If the latter is true then just keep your eyes open for that post. 

 When this all began I wanted to keep an online journal here on my blog but things went so quickly even though at the time it didn't seem quick at all. I thought so many things would happen or I would have time for this or that but to my surprise, it didn't go quite like I would have liked it to. 

 For anyone just hoping on this rollercoaster, I call my life, Welcome, grab something to drink maybe even a snack. My name is Pamela, I have been married to my husband for 32 years and dating him for 33 years. We have 6 children. My son is 31, my daughter Samantha is 28, Bryan is 25, Nesie is 25, Deanna is 19, and Dorothy is 14. We also have 4 grandchildren 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. 

 I was adopted by my paternal Uncle and his wife. They are who I take about whenever I write about my parents if I talk about my biological then that will be the term I use while talking about them. My parents received me when I was two weeks old. 

 I hadn't been feeling well for quite some time (although to be honest I have been getting sick from the very day I was born). I kept losing strength and sleep was taking up most of my days and nights leaving me feeling even more tired. I knew something was wrong and when I found out I had diverticulitis we thought that was the answer but during a colonoscopy to check on my diverticulitis and at the time seeking a surgeon to remove my sigmoid from my colon they found a mass which they cut and removed which showed Cancer. 

 They were pretty sure they had it all and that I was at most stage 1 Colon Cancer but once they were able to do the Cancer Removal Surgery my results came back Stage 3 Colon Cancer. It had spread to my lymph nodes. As I said I am working on getting my notes from the last year or so together and adding them here so we are now going to take a big jump to now. 

 I finished my chemotherapy on July 21st. I had a few appointments after that date that will be added as I go along but we are going to keep our attention on my first set of scans and tests since then. 

 I had my colonoscopy in mid-September 2022. I have hemorrhoids, and my diverticulitis is still there, but where they did my surgery has healed well, and looks beautiful they said. My mammogram came back clean, but I am still waiting on the ultrasound they took of my ovaries. No news is good news, right? I see that Dr. later this month.

 I had my cat scans last Thursday. My Oncologists office called today to go over them with me. There is something on my thyroid (I already have hypothyroidism, and growth in the same area but not attached to the thyroid) that I didn't get the name of but will be confirming what action is needed next with my Primary Doctor who was given a copy of the scans. Called today but he had already left for the day so hope to hear from him by tomorrow. My oncologist is monitoring a few nodules on or in my lungs. Do forgive me I will update you when I know which it is. Instead of having a clear scan and being able to go another 6 months till my next scan I will be getting more scans in three months to check on my lungs.

 I had hoped to give everyone the all-clear for the next 6 months but it just isn't the case. I guess once you get Cancer you are always waiting for it to strike again. I didn't worry about it till I had it and now I can't shake the feeling of dread every time there is a test no matter how positive I try to be. I have a hard time sleeping and want to spend as much time with my family as I can. There is just never enough time to do it all.

TRENDHIM: Keeping Up With The Bling While Keeping It Clean
There’s no denying it, men’s jewelry is only going to skyrocket from here onward. The Paris, Milan, and NYC men's spring/summer 2022 show was proof enough. Here are some key pieces that we think will create that extra oomph, even when you’re wearing a plain white tee. Multiple Rings: The More, The Merrier Adorning one’s hand with multiple rings, whether it is a couple of subtle gold ones paired with showy signets, is now a thing. TRENDHIM’s ring collection offers a mix of rock punk to clean lines, rings with colourful stones to a titanium collection that can rival an aircraft. Trendhim_1.jpg 
 See TRENDHIM’s ultimate ring guide, HERE. Necklaces: Bold Combinations Feeling a wee bit apprehensive to rock pearls (The Amager Collection) and chain necklaces? Worry not, this year’s trend is all about breaking the norms. Stack a chain necklace with pearls or layer it up with different thicknesses, the sky’s the limit to your creativity
.Trendhim_4.jpg 
 See TRENDHIM’s ultimate necklaces, HERE. Bracelets: Minimalism At Its Finest Cuffs or a simple chain or two would do the trick. Engrave for more personalization, which TRENDHIM also offers. If you want to wear two or three, make sure that the colours complement each other, if not the same. Trendhim_5.jpg
See TRENDHIM’s guide to wearing bracelets, HERE. Earrings: The Charmed Life Whether it’s a simple stud or earrings with statement charms, nothing screams self-expression better than this. And more and more men are jumping on the hype train of ear piercing. Trendhim_6.jpg 
 See TRENDHIM’s ultimate ear-piercing guide, HERE. Aside from blurring the lines of male and female pieces, another thing that stood out for this year’s trend is sustainability. TRENDHIM is already working on it as well. “We are committed to making better choices that will help us reduce our environmental impact. With the help of Sustainawear, we’ve gained vital insights into the steps needed to move our business operations toward a more sustainable future, not only for our customers but the home we all share 🌍 💚 We’re also running on “the cleanest cloud in the industry!” Currently carbon-neutral, Google Cloud aims to be completely carbon-free by 2030.

Accessories to us are everything a man can wear, except his clothes.
