One thing I want to know is...why on earth am I having this tingling, spasm sensation in my left arm?!? It feels so weird. It starts at the tip of my fingers sometimes and sometimes it starts at the elbow and work its way up to my neck and tightens. It so scary. Dr. Ibrahim is trying really hard to figure out what it is. He has had me in for a series of testing. Yesterday I spent most of the day and night at MDA.
This morning I went for results. From looking at the results he still say that my treatments are working and there was nothing new that showed up on the scans and treatments can stay the same. However, when I went in for the initial visit because of the tingling, he scheduled me for a CT scan that same week. From those results he did see a spot that showed up on my neck area. He doesn't know if it's new or if it's something I already had because they don't have a scan to compare it to since they didn't do a CT scan on the neck area in the beginning stages. He wants to rule out cancer related before he refers me to another doctor to diagnose the tingling problem, so he ordered blood work today to see what the tumor markers read. If it's high then they will biopsy the spot, if not they will just keep an eye on it and then refer me to another doctor for the tingling. Hope all this make sense to you all. Love you! Keep praying for me and I will keep you posted.

One Thing I Know
One thing I do know is that when you are in the circle with others with the same health issue, or any health issue, you begin to see things a bit different. Little things that are normally not important becomes more important. You learn more about people and their needs and what's important to them. I'm even learning things about myself while on this journey.
Hello everyone...I know it's been a while, and yes, I have missed you too! October was a very exciting month for me. It was breast cancer awareness month. Friends and family joined me in the Susan G. Komen walk for the cure. Thanks to all of you who supported me with donations and to those of you who hung out with me that morning. It was a lot of fun and it was exciting just being there in the crowd knowing that most of us were there for the same cause. To top it off, we ended the evening with a Pink Party. My goal in planning this party was to celebrate, entertain, and educate. Many came to me and thanked me for the information that was given out that evening. Some have already gotten their mammograms, thermographys, and some have even had their vitamin D levels checked to find out that their's is very low or they have none at all. They are now taking vitamin D supplements. Thanks to all of you who came out to the party. Look forward to seeing you next year!
