Doing good on Hospice and continued treatments
Just wanted to send an update as I have been MIA for awhile. Things are looking up for me, I had a very bad tumor flare after starting high dose estrogen for my cancer, so I got radiation to half of my pelvis. I am happy to report that I am pain free now, but I am weak from the radiation and lost about 15 lbs from morning sickness from the estrogen. Any one else out there on high dose estrogen, my doctor will probably switch me back to no estrogen soon, but we will see. Hospice is wonderful, they let me live a totally normal life and they come to fill my drugs, check my vitals and talk whenever I need them too. Plus they got me a wheel chair, walker and cane as soon as I needed them. But I won't be needing them much longer. Thanks for all the prayers, I think about all you out there alot, and pray we all find peace in this challenging world.
XOXOXO
Kristin
