March 21, 2015 - Chemo Update

I've had an interesting 24 hours! Last night, I was watching tv and the faces started looking weird. Then I looked at Tony and Tucker and their faces looked different! Sort of like when you are playing on photo booth on a Mac and distorting the center of the picture. 

I called the doctor on call at West Clinic and they said I should try to get in at my eye doctor's office today. The eye doctor had me come in, and they diagnosed me with macular edema - basically fluid retention at the back of my eye. They said they have seen it with my chemo meds. They said it was also starting in my other eye. They said If I wasn't already finished with my chemo, they would recommend changing to other chemo meds. I am so glad that I am already finished, and praying that the fluid comes off quickly so this goes away. 

Thank you for your prayers! Other than that, I am doing well and really looking forward to being at LF West tomorrow morning!!  smile emoticon
