good ct

I had checkups with rad onc and surgeon yesterday, as well as ct of head pcp ordered to see if there was anything there causing my headaches when I lift weights. The rad onc told me I don't have to come back for a year. The surgeon told me I can come back in a year, but as long as one of the 3 involved in my cancer saw me at least once a year he would be okay with me not coming back. Then I had my ct. Did okay during it, but after I got back out to my car felt nauseous. And then about halfway home started with like a heartburn. I called and they told me to take benadryl and if it got worse and not better to come back to the hospital. It did get better, but left me really groggy from the benadryl. Had a day off work because they closed schools because of really thick fog, so I dozed on and off all day. This afternoon my pcp called me and told me that my ct was clear. So now have to get him to pop my neck or give me muscle relaxers for it.

Great news on the CT...now to figure out the headaches and muscle aches...maybe a muscle time reaction from lifting the weights?
