Diagnostic mammogram x2 showed no increase in calcification. Technician told me that 85% of them are benign. Would have been nice to hear that from oncologist 6m ago, but he doesn't care about my mental health, as I well know.
Hair grew back curly -- a new look for me. But I'm keeping it short, since I get SO many compliments on it. Who knew?
Felt a weird hitch in my left chest upon deep breaths, over a 24-hr period. No pain, just.... weird. I could actually hear a click when I breathed deeply. Urgent care doc on this Saturday night tells me this is typical of radiation patients. Calcified muscles in the chest wall rubbing together. Again, would have been nice to know this might happen, so I didn't have to feel like I was having a slow-motion heart attack. Forget about cancer *awareness,* people.... how about educating cancer patients, since their doctors don't?
Oh... and that dream of a trouble-free GI track post-app'y? Merely a dream.
