I finally got a Perk down today and what a difference that made! WOW! The liquid morphine makes me so lethargic and down! All I want to do is mope around the house and lay in bed. I got the perk down and feel sooooo much better! I got mad and just chugged down 2 VHC after trying to sip water all morning and it hurting like hell. 2 of those and a perk made all the difference! I just got back from treatment and surprisingly feel really good....the calm before the storm...lol! Anyways I am just focused on getting thru this next week and then praying that this lump on the other side of my neck is what all the docs say it is! That will be a load of my shoulders...oh yea and a clear PET too...lol! I think I am going to request all 3! PET, MRI and a CT! I am sure they will give me the CT and PET at the same time but from what I hear its good to have an MRI done as well. TGIF...2 days off and a football game this weekend....wow Im stoked!
