 I started the third round of chemo today. I did not get good nights sleep last night so the Benedryl really made me drowsy. I am so glad my Aunt Nancy takes me and brings me home, especially when I get the Benedryl.

The chemo went well. In addition, my friend, Betty, came to visit me during chemo. She is the one that finished chemo last month and had the sweatshirts made for me. She had non-small cell lung cancer. She just had a CT scan and her results were fabulous. There is no sign of the cancer anymore. That is wonderful news and I am SOOOO happy for her. Congratulations to Betty and Carl.

I saw Dr. Hahn yesterday instead of today because he would be off today and tomorrow. I am still having A LOT of head pain. I have also been having a lot of shoulder pain. Dr. Hahn wants me to see an Orthopedic Surgeon on Monday because he feels this is a joint issue, not cancer.

I am scheduled for shoulders x-rays on Friday for the Orthopedic doctor. I am also having a CT scan on Friday to check the progress of the chemo.



Before chemo today, I went to see the radiologist. My regular doctor was not there but one his partners’ from another hospital was filling in for him. She agrees that I should see the orthopedic doctor. She thinks the problems could be starting in the neck causing both the head and shoulder pain. We will see.

I came home and napped for FIVE hours!! Thanks Benedryl!!
