Tests and Tests!

When you have metastatic cancer you must endure all kinds of invasive tests. Today I had an MRI of my heart and a CT Scan of my entire body except head, legs and arms. Every three months I have a CT scan and a heart EEG and ultrasound. This is due to the Herceptin which can be very hard on one's heart. Adding to the discomfort, I have to have all my tests during the peak hours at the hospital and have to have a special line put in to my port in my right chest. The super crappy thing about it all is that it takes up so much of my day. But I have to. This is really the only way I can know what is going on with the tumors. Thankfully I feel much better today than I felt the week and a half. The last two days have been so stressful as I had too much nausea and vomiting. But since I am not getting anymore chemotherapy or hormone treatment these side effects should subside in time. I do miss going to the gym and taking classes. It can also be so stressful taking the two buses I need to get to the hospital outside of Oslo.

Thankfully, my son went with me today. What would have been a lonely day was made brighter by having someone I care so much about with me. He has been here a little over a month now and has already found a job. He is just waiting for his work visa appointment at UDI (Norwegian Immigration). He is a chef and very talented. He found work at a very nice restaurant in Oslo and is working on the line. He is the only one on the line that does not have a culinary degree. I am ever so proud of him.

I feel really blessed today. Even though things are not exactly how I would like them to be. Sunday I will be going on a three day cleanse. I need to detox my body from all the drugs and radioactive materials that have been injected into me. After the cleanse I will progress into some other cleanses for specific organs. The rest of December will be dedicated to cleaning up my polluted body. I will post what I am going to do every day! I hope you like this and please share and leave a comment if you feel inclined! All my love!
