Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I had an appointment with my rheumy today and it went pretty well. My xrays look good and so does my blood work so my doctor wants to wait on starting me on Humira and for now I'm just on Arava.. I'm definitely ok with that. I had nerve testing done to check why my feet and legs are always numb and tingly and nothing showed up so now I am being sent to a neurologist.. just what I needed another specialist.. Other then that I am doing ok. I know asked about my mom, she is doing ok. About two weeks ago my mother was admitted into the hospital because she was having trouble breathing and was really disoriented, we found out that the radiation did not work and her tumors have not shrank at all, the didn't grow but they didn't shrink either, they put her back on decadron (steriod) and it helped her breathing but now she has oxygen here at home and they said since she didnt respond to radiation she probably wont respond to chemo and even with the chemo its only being used to give her more time.. The dont really expect for her to make it through the summer.. Its been devestating to say the least, but we are trying to enjoy every day as it comes. She had a port inplanted last friday and will start chemotherapy tomorrow.. hopefully everything goes well and she is given a miracle.. That's basically all though thats been going on.. I've been really stressed out with school and work and dealing with my mom.. ill be overjoyed when this semester is over.
