Transplant Day +47

Can you believe that I am still having the same stomach problems? I can eat more now, but it's like I have this constant dull pain in my gut 24/7. I can't believe that the doctors cannot find anything wrong. I just want to feel good again, is that so wrong?

Peace

Transplant Day +46

Hi all,

I got some great news from my doctor today. The PET scan showed absolutely no cancer in my body!!! I am so relieved, thanks and glory and honor be to God the Father and His Wonderful Son Jesus Christ, even forever. I have been praying so hard for this, sometimes to the point of tears. I know I am not "out-of-the-woods" yet, but it's good to know that right now I am cancer free.

I have to wait until Monday to get the colonoscopy results, and I am still having troubles with my stomach. It's really wierd that they can't find the cause of my discomfort. As you may of realized, I can be a worry-wort at times, but I am hoping this is nothing serious.

Peace to you all!

Transplant Day +45

Hi all,

Well, all my blood work was normal and the x-ray didn't show anything either. My doctor has scheduled a colonoscopy and a PET scan for tomorrow (Friday 5/30). I am very scared of that PET scan, that it will show the cancer is still there and maybe even spread and is part of my stomach troubles. I just can't get that thought out of my head, no matter how hard I try. And what sucks is that my doctor scheduled the appointment to go over the results on Monday, so I'll have to wait all week-end to find out what it shows.

Peace

Transplant Day +44

Well, still having the same problems with my stomach. I don't know what to think, kinda worried. Today I was able to force myself to get up and around in the house. I actually played my guitar for a couple hours, man do I need to practice more!

Transplant Day +43

Well my doctor has scheduled some blood tests and an x-ray of my abdomen on Thursday to see if he can pin point the troubles I've been having. I sure hope I don't end up back in the hospital again. Man, I am really getting frustrated, I just want to feel good, ya know?

Anyhoot, I hope you all are doing good and thanks for your support.

Peace

Transplant Day +42

Hello all,

I am still having the stomach problems. Mostly nasious and not able to eat very much, but also very tired. All I have been doing the past few days is laying in bed.

Megan's sister Jena and her kids and my sister Kim and her kids came over for supper today. They grilled hot dogs and brats. I forced myself to go sit outside for about 20 minutes and watched the kids play in the back yard, then I was able to get a brat and some baked beans in me. After that my stomach acted up again and I ended up back in bed.

Goodnight all!!!

Transplant Day +41

Hello,

Things are pretty much the same. I guess I am glad they aren't getting worse. I have mostly been lying in bed all day and night. I sure hope I start feeling better soon.
That's all for now.

Peace
