My xray came back with great results. The fluid is no longer under my lungs and everything is back to normal. That means the diuretic the doctor put me on is doing it's job. I am elated this is working. So much better than having a needle stuck in my back again to drain the lungs. The doctor has decreased my diuretic to every other day for 2 weeks and then I will have another xray to see if everything is normal. He would like to have me off the diuretics in the next month if possible, but he will monitor the fluid and make a decision from that. All I know is I feel great and I hope this chemo side effect goes away very soon.
My hair has started to grow back also, it's getting thicker every day. I hope I can ditch the wig maybe in a few months, we shall see.
We had a fabulous Christmas with the family and we even took the kiddos ice-skating.
Yes I did ice skate, but with lots of caution. I am happy to say, No broken bones to add to the hospital visits. It felt great to finally have the energy to be physically active. I can't wait to get back to the gym and eventually running again... but for now, baby steps.
