Not a good day.....
Monday I gave my usual pint of blood to the American Red Cross. They'll be calling and calling and calling me again in a couple months.
Tuesday I mailed some packages....a Nascar comforter for my grandson and some baby clothes for my neice. I received a package....a book from my other neice (Thanks Holly!); I planted some flowers; and I got my dogs' licenses for the year.
Today started out crappy. Remember I said how Lucky was sick when I was in Caseville and I took him to the vet and he fixed him up?...and he's all better now??....NOT!! So yesterday we could tell that he was acting weird like he's sick again. He didn't eat all his food. He hides under the couch. He doesn't even come out and beg when I'm eating something with the other dogs. So today he had a complete relapse and now I'm worried. I wake up at 8:00 this morning and come downstairs to put Mini outside and there is blood all over my hall carpet...RED BLOOD!...and diahrea in my family room. Lucky is sick again. I call my vet and she told me to come in at 10. During the examination she finds two of his lymph nodes swelled by his back legs. She also does a rectal exam and feels a bulge in his intestines that shouldn't be there. There is also blood in his intestines. She did major blood work on him; and also inserted a needle into the lymph nodes to extract a specimen to examine. She found normal lymph node cells but also some abnormal ones that shouldn't be there. It is being sent to a lab for a specialist to examine and determine if it might be cancer. She gave me two medicines for him to take in the meantime. She called tonight to say basically from the blood work his white blood cell count is high which can indicate an infection/inflammation and/or cancer. She is waiting for the results of the Cytology (lymph node cells) to really determine what his problem is. She even wrote in her notes "His condition may be life threatening if it is cancerous". We are hoping that it is just simple like colitus or an infection....not cancer!!
Then this afternoon I went for my mammogram and wait and hope I don't get any letters or phone calls telling me I need to come back. It should be okay. But lately it seems like everybody I know is getting breast cancer of some type. I went to a funeral of a friend who had breast cancer....my former sister-in-law just had a lumpectomy and now undergoing chemo and radiation....my good friend is scheduled to have a masectomy on Monday....what the hell is going on?????
I hate the word C-A-N-C-E-R
So how was your day......
