Went in for chemo today, but they wouldn’t treat me w/o a MRI. MRI shows no more tumor growth and very little edema (yay!), but I still have 4 small tumors. However, turns out I suffered from a stroke while at girls camp this last week. I go in for testing with a neurologist tomorrow morning to discover if stroke was caused by blood clots in neck or brain. Cancer patients have thicker blood, so it’s very likely. As for lack of mobility in my left side, it looks like I’ll have to face rehab to get back strength and functionality which appears to be getting worse by the day. So much for restarting my running career next week. All I can say is how blessed I am to have Mom’s help right now. I’m an emotional wreck which most of you have been privy to, and I apologize for my weakness that doesn’t help the situation at all. I’m pulling myself together, but I am not looking forward to the trials that lie ahead. When it rains, it pours, that’s for sure.
Deepest gratitude for your continual prayers and endless support.
I love you,
Bri
Oh, my goodness. You have been through the ringer. You are such a trooper. We are still praying for you. Best of luck with your move to Roseville!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you a lot lately. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I am going to send you something in the next week. I have been slacking. You crazy girl going to girls camp. I am sure you had a blast though even though you had a stroke. You are amazing! I am glad to see that there is progress with the chemo. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are in our prayers - we visit the Tahoe/Reno area often because my family lives there...so be prepared for a visit very soon!
