I'm with the big guy |
Yesterday I looked in the mirror and noticed the area above my left clavicle (that's geek speak for collarbone) was swelling.
Of course, I kind of freaked out.
In times past, this has shown a re-occurence.
I brought out my feeler fingers and poked around. I didn't find anything. No lumps or bumps.
Big sigh of relief.
I called the hospital anyway, just in case.
The same exact problem happened last year around the same time and turned out to be nothing.
We're going with lymphedema on this one.
The best predictor of present/future behavior is past behavior.
Look closely, it really is me |
When I tried to get an appointment then, I was given to some nasty NP that hollered at me and made me cry. Then I started treatment not too long after that. The diagnosis got lost in the mix.
I'll be scheduled for a PET scan sometime in the next two weeks to check the chemo's progress.
My life certainly isn't boring.
And As promised, some pictures from my 15 minutes of fame at the Swampbats game.
