Updates from 1/14/23

Quick update, the upcoming week is much more interesting

• Just wrote a new post that I am very excited about that I will post early in the week - the topic is "how to respond when someone gives you bad news about themselves"

• Chemo off-week, I start up again next week.

• Feeling really good. Symptoms have been very mild this week.

• Major symptoms this week (but all manageable and not that bad):

  • Stomach

  • Eczema

  • Fatigue

  • Some circulation stuff - cold hands/feet, etc

  • Sleep is ok, some nights haven't been great but not consistent so some nights are better than others

• No doctors appointments in the past week, just therapy which was great

• A lot of volunteer discussions with the groups I am volunteering for. SIO or Society of Integrative Oncology, OHSU (potential but not formalized), the Healing NET Foundation (A NETS organization co-founded by a NETS specialist and a patient)

• Good potential consulting/part-time job discussions too. Hopefully more on this later

• Joined a gym! Also went to Yoga which I seriously love. Namaste all!

• Upcoming week

  • Blood draw and NETs Oncologist appointment on 1/17

  • My first appointment with Urologic Oncologist will be on 1/19 - this is the first time I will be speaking with someone about my kidney cancer. I am very excited about this appointment!

  • Dentist Appointment to finally get my permanent crown put in

  • Therapy

Will update next week when I am sure that I will have a lot to share!
