This coming week is her last week of radiation and chemo.
She gets rescanned on March 4th to see if the cancer is still active or restarts. THEN she will have surgery.
Right now insurance is only willing to pay for the ovary to be removed even though the Doctor feels ALL should be removed as the cancer could start else where. PLUS I brought up the fear she is dealing with triggering her PTSD and bipolar, she brought it up to her doctor... or I should say she showed him my text. Then her Lupus doctor chimed in that it could trigger her lupus to flare up when she's had in under control. It's starting to flare now with her off all medication.
She is handling all the stress by taking her 5 dogs outside to play in the snow several times a day.
Son 2 dropped off a couple yoga dvd's he had for her. As her doctor will not release her to work with weights or walk in her steel toe shoes but told her she could do some relaxing yoga.
She earned enough extra money being taxi to some elderly to buy a crib and some sheets for her grandbaby.
She is also now getting her dog food for a huge discount thanks to the vet that she takes the dogs to.
She is planning on having a baby shower for her daughter in March. Not sure if it will be virtual or in person. She knows several have things for her daughter and she is waiting to see what all that will be.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Can the doctors make an appeal to the insurance company for a more comprehensive surgery? From working in the medical field, I do know that you have to be proactive with your own care.
ReplyDeleteWill her daughter and the baby be living with her after the little girl is born?
her oncology doctor, her lupus doctor and her bipolar doctor are submitting statements she needs it all removed.
DeleteGranddaughter lives with baby's daddy (he is a good man that has had a hard childhood) about 1 mile from Daughter 4.
No matter what, she needs it all out. Her health needs are certainly complicated. Why can she not walk in steeled-toed footwear? Hopefully, yoga can help. The dogs will probably join her...lol.
ReplyDeleteSteel toe boots pull the groin area when you walk due to the weight (her's weighs 5 lbs each shoe like Hubby's does). The groin area is where they do/did the radiation so it's Weak. They don't want her straining or tearing anything
DeleteI am dead serious about helping her let me know how. So happy she is on her last round of chemo.
ReplyDeleteYay, last week of chemo/radiation! Such great news! Glad she has something to look forward to with the baby shower and grandbaby.
