Leanna's Winding Path
Hi friends. Thanks for checking in on me. I thought this would be a good place to share with you the details about my journey in this life. I hope to keep it simple and honest.
I love you.
26 May 2011 – And the good news is…
My side effects do not seem to be because of changes in my MRI! This is exciting and frustrating. I have minor, very minor, increases in one of the tumors, but the rest seem to show improvement! That’s right. Improvement!
The challenging thing for us and our doctor is trying to figure out what is causing the extreme pain, imbalance, and exhaustion that I regularly feel. But I have to believe that listening to my body is what I need to do to recover. I need to exercise too. That much is clear. These steroids could lead me to permanent muscle damage, so I really have to do something. I’m looking into seeing a physical therapist.
Dr. Gagnon was so happy with the way my head looked that he is asking me to wait another two months to be evaluated. It looks like my waiting to get cyberknife wasn’t a mistake, which I did not think that it was, but it’s good to have the reassurance. But none the less, I have to feel better. I think I need listen to my body and allow myself to rest more.
Anyhow, I wanted to share the good news.
Thanks for your love and support.
Leanna
