It has now been over 6 months since the end of all my treatments. I have had nothing but good reports and scans. Aside from the annoying speech and saliva issues, I feel completely back to normal.
And maybe that's why I haven't posted to my blog in months....
Or maybe it's because I was just so upset when outsiders began to criticize me about the content of my blog...
Well, hopefully enough time has passed and maybe the only people still checking up on this blog are close friends or other cancer survivors or those who won't get offended by what I write.
So what's been going on in recent months? Well, as I said, things have remained the same for me, if not improved. Jake and I took a trip to Vegas back in July for a critical thinking/skepticism conference and a little vacation for ourselves.
And now, for the bad news of the blog.... even though my condition seems to be stable or improving, Jake's condition seems to be declining. In addition to increased pain, more doctors who can't find anything wrong, and more troubles dealing with the medical system then you could possibly imagine, it seems that his Hashimoto's antibody levels (which were already at 10 times the normal level) have increased tenfold! Since this appears to be the only abnormal test result, our neurologist is suggesting an antibody infusion (IVIG). This seems like the next logical step, although maybe not a pleasant one. I feel so bad for my husband and wish there was something I could do to get him happier and healthier. *sigh*
I look back at the roller coaster of the past 2 years in my life and look forward to a positive ending to my husband's medical drama, as well.
It's been a while... so to all still listening out there. Thanks.
