              Thanks y’all! I know exactly what you mean about fluids! I keep alternating what I drink so I won’t get sick of it. Now that the drain is gone showering is awesome again! I just stand there and bask! My oncologist started me off on the high dose and my liver was like…hey….I hate this. I hope she keeps me on the reduced dose! Food tastes a bit better already, but it’s still kinda metallic. I heard fruit smoothies are the way to go, so we’ll see.

              Getting winded easily is kind of frustrating. Going up the stairs is like going on a jog lol. I think I’m going to start exercising and doing what I can so I can stay somewhat energized. I already found I love yoga!

              Oh I ignored plastic wrapping in the shower. It just made me mad! I have 2 more weeks until I do my treatment at home. I’m looking forward to picking my own time. I’m determined to make the full year. If I have to sweat a bit at night I think I can manage it, God made the shower. 🙂

                    Haha Mike I got my lymphadectomy under my left arm so they said as soo as I could hold down food and pee I was good to go. Thanks Vicky! I could probably dance, but definitely don’t feel like it yet. 🙂 I hope it stops draining by the 7th, but I do appreciate the advice to keepp it longer if it doesn’t stop just yet. The nurse who said I only need to drain twice a day is a liar haha. I’m doing it 4 times today. Oh, and hiding it when outside is a great idea, I could use some fresh air! Thanks for the pointers everyone! I’m sure I’ll be keeping y’all updated!

                    God bless!

                          Dr. Long. No, not really. I’m starting interferon on Feb. 6th so I think right now that’s the next step. And of course I have the 3 month checkups for 5 years. Thank you for your support Scot! I appreciate it!
                          God bless!

                                Yes…to all your questions. Monday I’m going to pick up a cd of the slides and bring them to my appointment, and she knows I’ve already chosen interferon and surgery. So far I really like her. Thank you for your support Mary!
