CT Scan Report - Dec. 27, 2022

December 27, 2022

Woke up with a headache but no nauseous feeling yet. 

I received the report from my CT abdominal scan from the on line system “Pocket Health”. 
Pocket Health is a system where I can access my images and reports the minute they are available. Then when I see the doctors, I am involved in my own care and prepare questions and concerns.  

The report showed:
* As I already knew, in the lower thorax, there is numerous lung nodules 
*GI tract is showing no distention or wall thickening.  
*There are fibroids in my uterus but no metastasis. 
*There is no evidence of metastasis in the adrenal gland
*Degenerate change in the spine which I have been able to manage the pain for years. 

Sounds like good news to me. Glad my other organs have not been affected. 

Tomorrow night, I go for a head MRI. 

At 2:30pm, Steve came home from shopping and said it warmed up out and the sun was nice.  I needed to get out, get fresh air  and go for a brief walk. I just walked around the block and walked only .74 km.  Weird when I used to walk 6 to 8 km a day.  At least I was able to get out and for now that makes me happy. The doctor told me to listen to my body and that is exactly what I will do.  Besides I can’t afford to loose more weight.  


I feel like I am on a roller coaster.  Just before dinner, I was sick. Steve and I figure it must be because of all the phlegm which accumulate in my stomach and makes me ill.  Not sure about the headaches. I am not going to document every time I am sick. Just know it is an on and off thing. 
Oh well…it is all part of it.

December 28-29, 2023 - Pain Control

December 28, 2023 12:00am- I was in lots of pain and couldn’t get comfortable especially when I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom.  The nurse gave me Hydromorphine ( Dilauded ) for pain with a heated blanket. It just calmed me down.  Today crappy feeling day. I brought up and at least I don’t feel pain now. Just as they gave me Zofran and Tylenol, I brought up.  8:00am- Breakfast came but I couldn’t touch it.  I tried to nibble on a few things.  8:30am- They did bloodwork.  10:00am- My sister came to help out with bathing me and stayed until 1:30pm. I was finally pain free and slept for a couple of hours. She stayed until Steve showed up.  Serge, a physio therapist came to do physio and exercises in bed. He showed me tricks of how to get and in and out of bed. Later Paul, another physio therapist showed up to show me how to go up and down the stairs.  Steve brought home some of my wash. Diane brought me down in the wheelchair to get a tea and Steve later brought me down for

January 22, 2024- Blog message

Some of you may be surprised to hear this message. This is not the easiest blog to write. I haven’t blogged publicly lately because I wanted to be surrounded by my family. I updated my blog today.  On January 18, 2024, I was told my lung cancer is spreading and there is nothing they can now due except to keep me comfortable.  My family needed time to digest the news. They have been helping me get through this whole process. Lung cancer or any cancer is a nasty disease.  I have had so many friends and people reach out to support me through prayers and loving thoughts not even knowing what is happening. I just can’t believe the impact I have had on others.  The good news is  knowing I had no regrets and I have lived life to the fullest. My daughter asked if there was something I wanted to do before I transition and I had nothing to say. I am at peace and ready to receive the Lord.  I am going in McNally house in Grimsby where comfort will be given. It will be one place we will donate mon
