Wow three months just zipped by. I have been feeling really well since Canada Day weekend; which is why I have not written much.
So first a bit about what I have been up to, you already know about me signing up for Ironman Canada for August 2112 I am also running the Victoria marathon on October 9th and hoping to have Lori pace me in just under 3:55:00 (fingers crossed). This week I have also officially signed up for running in the Boston marathon based on last years Victoria marathon finish (3:17:36) we are very happy about this! I have also decided that I should be using these key events to raise some donations for cancer research so will be very shortly putting a site up linked to the BC Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as a third party fund raising site, more details to follow on this. In other news yesterday I bought a new to me bass guitar which I am also very pleased with and am looking forward to our friend Doug teaching me a bit of what he knows.
So back to the health check, as I was saying for the past while I have been feeling great; except for the last couple of weeks. During this time I have been feeling nauseous and on the verge of throwing up, this left me a bit nervous going in to the oncology appointment. I had my blood tests a few days prior to the appointment and on Monday found out that they had come back perfectly normal! This is very happy news. In talking to the doctor about my test results and my stomach issues we agreed that the nausea is not likely related to my lymphoma, more good news. He gave me a prescription to settle my stomach down and I am going in for another CT scan and more blood work along with a few other tests to rule out the possibility of Lymphoma being the cause of the problem.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my GP and we will review everything and see what he can come up with as the pills helped for the first two days and although I am not feeling as bad as I was the last couple of weeks I have been feeling nauseous yesterday and today.
More updates to follow as I get my test results back and we figure out what is going on. Also I will post my marathon results, links to the fundraising site and likely a photo of my new bass.
