10 Months Post Op
Apr 30, 2010
Well since my last update a lot has been going on in my life. My father was recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer which has spread to the Liver. Due to the stage it is in-operable & he has since started chemo. As of today he is doing well, gaining weight & so far pain free. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me these past 2 months. When I saw my doctor he said I had lost 6 lbs which took me down to 204 lbs. I then explained it was probably from the stress, so I explained the situation with my dad's illness. He did try to give me a fill but was only able to give .5 cc, so now I have a total of 4.5 cc. He was barely able to pull back when he gave me a fill so that there is telling him something is wrong. He said to come back in 6 weeks which will be May 13th to see how I am doing. He believes I have a bad port. He has had to go in & revise another patients port as of now. Now I really do think my port is bad since the other patient lost 35 lbs & had just had surgery. I am now 10 months out & as of today I have lost 38 lbs with surgery & 47 total. My current weight as of this morning is at 197 lbs. That is roughly 7 lbs since my last appt. It doesn't seem like much but my lab readings are GREAT!! My A1C is now at 6.1. I am almost considered normal.lol. The BEST thing so far is I feel much better & my medication is practically gone!!I will try my best to get on here more to see how everyone is doing. Hope all is well & much success to you all!!
