Cancer Stuff
The docs appt was yesterday afterall. It went better than i thought. The family doc is going to try and set up a CT scan for the lump in my mouth. Dr M my oncologist at the cancer clinic is great... he's really nice... i just hope he realises it got bigger than when i saw him about a month ago.
I've developed these fissures in my mouth also. They're like little lines at the bottom of my cheeks... it's worse on the right side. I guess it's something you can get after radiation. They're no big deal... just a little sore. I have to put this freaky cream on it... it's like fricken cement so your saliva doesn't wash it away. It's kinda gross... and if you get it on your tongue you're screwed... lol.
I got the results of a chest xray i had done in Aug. Unfortunately, they didn't have the results of the one i just had done a month ago. In laymans terms i have several thingys in the base of my right lung and one thingy in the base of my left lung. They can't be sure what they are but they think maybe calcium deposits. They want to compare it to an old chest xray to see if i had them before.
I don't remember anything showing up on any of my old xrays. Unfortunately the only records i don't have copies of are my past chest xrays... figures. Now i'm wondering if that's the reason Dr. M wanted another chest xray when i saw him last month. I thought maybe they had just lost the one i had done in August. Now i'm thinking he wanted to see if there had been any changes cause he just sorta mumbled when i mentioned i'd had one done in Aug already and said we may as well do another.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
