It's all about Fluid

On Tuesday, March 9, Bill and I met with the oncologist. We talked a little bit about the pain that had started back up though it wasn't hurting that day. The doctor suggested we might want to do another thoracentsis if the pain comes back and it wouldn't be unheard of doing one every 6 weeks. After that I got chemo. Bill stayed with me and we played a little cards.

Thursday I woke up and was hurting more than usual. We talked to the oncologist and he suggested we have a thoracentsis done that day to drain the fluid from my lung cavity. That went fine except my belly was pretty rigid. We knew there was fluid in my belly from previous CT Scans and we knew it was increasing.

The next day it seemed the rigidity went down a little,but was still there. Bill called the doctor again. He suggested we have a peracentsis done that would drain the fluid out of my belly. So we did that on Friday. So after having fluid drained out of my back and my belly I am feeling a bit beaten up, though I am feeling okay.
