 I have a CT scan and a mammogram scheduled for March 24th. That will tell the doctor if this drug is working. I'm praying that it is!!!! I have an appointment with him on the 25th but I don't know if he'll have the results that quick or if I'll have to wait until the following week to hear the news.

Unfortunately I have developed an obstruction in one of the veins just below the surface on my leg. I had a Dopplar Sonogram on the 17th and it showed there are obstructions all the way from my ankle almost up to my groin. It's called a "superficial thrombophlebitis" which basically means it's something like a blood clot. I will be on a heavier dose blood thinner (the doctor said for a while) and they will watch it to make sure it doesn't move. They also watch to make sure it doesn't get into a deeper vein. That can be very dangerous. What I have is not dangerous so far but if it moves they may have to take other measures to take care of it. My ankle started swelling today a little bit so I suppose I'll be calling the doctor in the morning.

I also found out the lymph nodes in my groin are enlarged. I'm hoping that's just because of the clot. I'll have to get more details on that.
