"In remission" but...
Well friends a few weeks ago now my GP said I could officially say I was "in remission" .... my latest catscan again said all clear except for stable bones.
You'd think I'd be happy, and I am but.... I just seem to have so many side-effects from my medications it makes it hard.... diarroea/constipation, hand/foot syndrome, lymphoedema (arms & legs), weight gain/swollen face from steroids, weeping eyes/dribbling mouth etc etc
I feel I should be grateful seeing these meds are keeping me alive... I think... (combined with prayers) I hate to complain.... but I am!! LOL!!
And now "in remission" Im still getting extra/new pain in my bones. Probably should talk to my GP about this eh?
Thanks for listening to my buts..... Love this site and the folks that contribute.
Stay well friends.
Blessings
Hermiracles
