Well guys the big day is here. This morning I'm seeing my hematologist to figure out where we go from here. Here, of course, being sidelined and worn down due to an insufficient amount of hemoglobin and iron in my blood.
I have to admit I'm a little anxious. What if I hit a wall? My mom, dealing with a medical issue of her own, was told earlier this week "that's just the way it is - deal with it." That's my biggest fear.
Fear and anxiety have no place in my life. As the hymn says "I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand."
Please pray for me - this visit will be a difficult one. If for no other reason than being surrounded by all the cancer patients visiting there to visit the oncologist. (Why do the two specialties have to be lumped together?)
You are a strong woman, and you have dozens of sisters sending you strength today when you can't pull from your own. Good luck...hope you get a quick fix for whatever it is that is wrong. Love ya girl!
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers to you hun!!! I know it will be ok! Keep being strong!!!

ReplyDeleteI have spent some time catching up on your blog posts I have missed.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! I am so sorry you have to be so young and deal with this stuff.
I really hope your appt. goes well and everything gets figured out.
It is hard when the oncology stuff is mixed with other things.
I remember when I was pregnant once I went to the hospital to get a scheduled ultra-sound. The waiting room for ultra-sounds was shared with cancer patients waiting to get chemo and other treatments.
There was a little girl in there with her dad. She was bald, obviously had cancer and was crying and saying, "Pleassssse daddy don't make me do this".
Oh my, talk about breaking my heart. It was so hard to watch - I felt so sorry for that little girl and never forgot it.
I have a feeling that by now you've already been to your appointment so I hope that it went well!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that as I read this, your appt is already done, but I'm praying for you anyway.
