My appointment with Dr P didn't answer the many questions I had as neither one of us know why the leg pain. He was more concerned with the fevers but I'm fairly confident that stems from the buffet, either way I was placed on an antibiotic so I'm covered. I asked him several questions about the likelyhood that my cancer could have metastasized to the bone and he really feels that is not the case for me. Papillary serous has a tendency to travel to the organs within the body, not the bone, and he stated that even if it did travel to the bone, I'm on the exact treatment for it. I'm about 98% comfortable with his answers and for now, not going to worry about this as I'm doing so much better overall.
I'm finding that ever since being sick, I'm exhausted a lot of the time and that bothers me. It seems as though I haven't fully come back from being sick and I'm somewhat worried chemo will wipe out the little reserve I have. However, I did not do so well with the antibiotic as it caused insomnia, so I'm sure that's a factor in everything. I'm very thankful to be done with that darn medication! Overall though, I'm much less anxious to go into chemo as there aren't quite as many unknowns and I find this part easier than radiation. If I can do radiation, I can do anything!
