I hate that you are going through this. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Geez Denise!

I hope your symptoms resolve soon- I am sending beams of healing white light in your direction to shower you.

I wonder if these symptoms are from the cancer or from your body being under so much stress. I haven't posted much about my "adrenal problem" but before I was diagnosed I had much the same problems you're describing - shaking,stuttering, visual issues such as coming into my bedroom at night and everything looking like it was in the first black and white movies with the flickering. I was having classic adrenal fatigue symptoms probably starting many years ago.

All your hormones are in disarray-insulin from the steroids, thyroid, estrogen (even though you're estrogen negative)-the adrenals control many hormones.
And look at all you have been through in the last year alone!

Hoping that you're finding some comfort from someone and that you'll be back on track soon for your trip!

Stay strong my friend.... Prayers and healing energy continue to come your way from me. Remember you had a good result on your last scan which was not long ago......

Dearest Denise...sending you HUGE HUGS and praying for strength, peace and healing!!

Re: Emergency mri &%#@$!!
 

Well...
My regular neurosurgeon is out of town...
but the radiology doc who read the MRI said he didn't see any new lesions YAY!
or an increase in the edema YAY!

But my onc still isn't sure where the new symptoms are coming from.
She said, "Go enjoy your trip this weekend! And we'll get your Avastin infused on Monday when you get back." "When the neuro looks at the scan next week we'll see what he says. But for now, there's nothing emergent going on."

So I'm shouting in my heart, "Blessed be the LORD!"
taking 8mg of dex/day... which has really helped the symptoms a lot.
And enjoying my reprieve!

Caroline - thanks for sharing the info about your adrenal gland. Mine sure has been through the ringer for the last 6 months or so! Maybe there's some of that going on.

Thanks to all of you for your love, support, energy, prayers!! When medicine fails me, I know where to turn!

So... I don't know exactly what's going on... but at least I'm good for my weekend... and Hawaii might not be too much to ask either. You know me, always looking for that silver lining!

I'll let you know when I know more... but you're all so sweet to me, I didn't want you to be more worried when you didn't here from me for a few days.

Love to all!
Denise

NED -

Enjoy your weekend and walk carefully using your cane.

Have you taken any physical therapy? Maybe you have and I missed the post, but some specific exercises sure helped me, and I STILL do some of them.
