Just got back from seeing my primary doctor. I just love this guy, he is so thorough. He was putting me thru the paces, checking all my reflexes and the strength in my hands and arms. I did fine till I had to follow his little flashlite with my eyes. Seems that when I move my eyes back and forth, everything kind of goes off focus and I have to stop and close my eyes for a minute or two. He said he'd like to have an MRI done but knowing that I am very claustrophobic, we will start with a scan. I'm scheduled for this Friday at 8 am. If he sees anything unusual, we will go from there. This is what I had expected from my oncologist but no luck there. So, anyway, Friday is the scan, Monday I see the eye specialist and Monday afternoon I see the urologist for a scope (sounds like fun, huh?). Don't you just love doctors and tests?
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, I'll let you know how it goes.
Hugs
