Yesterday was another lab check day at Roswell Park. All was well and I did not need any injections or transfusions.
Today I had an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart. My family doctor ordered the test after my annual checkup last month because of my complaints of shortness of breath. Apparently some chemo treatments can cause problems with the heart and he wants to be sure my heart is OK. The test takes about a half an hour and was done at my local hospital.
After lunch I went to my massage therapist. She is a local woman who went to elementary school with my son Steve. Of course, I received permission from my oncologist to have massage treatments. I've been going to therapy to treat pain in my right shoulder and arm, which I have had since my very first Fludarabine infusion back in October. It's never gone away, and it gets worse right after my chemo infusions. Today's massage helped tremendously, and I go back the week after chemo for another therapeutic massage.
