I have skipped out on getting my teeth cleaned in almost a year- oops! I had seen my oral surgeon the beginning of summer and he reminded me to make that appointment- but then I felt the lump and my whole life seemingly went down the drain. Well, I really need to get it done before chemo because my mouth needs to be in good shape. Here is the sucky thing- I have either a cracked tooth or a cavity that is really bothering me- just started last week. I don't have time for this crap! Now I need to call the dentist and get an appt ASAP!
Then there are my feet. I have had some minor problems with a toe that seems to get ingrown even though it doesn't look like it. It never bothers me too bad, so I try to ignore it. Sometimes it gets infected but then it gets better. Yea, I should probably have had that looked at awhile ago, but the last ingrown tonail that I had 'fixed' the guy totally deformed my nail and it is terrible so I have really wanted to keep my other foot 'good' Well, now of course my foot has been bothering me a bit and seems like it might have a tiny infection going on. Obviously I can't have that going on while doing chemo and knocking out my immune system- So I need to find time to have that looked at as well. I just really REALLY hope they don't have to do any type of surgery on it.
Also- I need to call and have my surgeon see if she can get me into the lymphedema specialist. I may not have it, many of the things I have going on very well could be post surgery swelling crap- but I would still really like to get in with them and see what they think, and maybe be more prepared to prevent it? I don't know- I just feel like I may as well see them! Not like I am doing anything else these days...
Later this week I have some bloodwork and my bone scan. Initially I was not worried but now the more I have had time to worry since surgery, I have been thinking about how it DID spread to my lymph nodes, and it DID get into my blood. Shit! What if it did make it somewhere else???? Yes, yes, I know- stop worrying, that is what chemo is for, bla bla bla.... It doesn't help- I still think about it.
