I had my checkup yesterday and it was better than I thought, in terms of chemo pressure anyway. I was checked in the lump regions and something was spotted under my right arm, and in my neck. Under my arm I knew about - the difference this time is that it is quite sore, whereas cancer lumps are usually painless. All my other symptoms can be attributed to the shingles, which are dragging out. I feel run down all the time, like I have flu. I could really do with lying on a beach under the hot sun somewhere instead of having to constantly keep myself warm in this rainy and grey and damp and cold time of year.
I am booked in for a CT scan 5 weeks from now. That gives the shingles time to clear up and will allow an accurate representation of what is really going on. December the 14th will tell me if I'm having a good Christmas or an extremely crappy one. I live in hope, but at the moment I feel so physically and emotionally run down. I think my mood will improve as my shingles does. I hope so anyway, people must be getting really pissed off with my bad attitude...
