Call from BC Cancer Agency

Yesterday (Wednesday 26th) was a busy day, first an appointment with our GP just to catch each other up and get a few answers around nutrition.  This went very well we got some advice on eating well and what to avoid.  Lean proteins and green leafy veggies are good, refined sugars and fatty are bad.  I knew this already but hearing again and how diet could impact the growth of mutated cells really hit home.
On our walk to the docs we received a call from the BCCA , we have an appointment with our specialist Dr. Hart.  The appointment is for June 22nd, but between now and then I will have a few more tests done, these include blood tests and a second CT scan.  The blood tests happened today and CT scan is yet to be scheduled.  The appointment is a preliminary one filling out paper work discussing with Dr Hart what and how I have been feeling, going over the test results both first and second sets and then possibly talking about treatment options.  I am very thank full to be seeing Dr Hart as everything I have heard and read about him is very positive!
So that is the appointment and medical news, but how have I been feeling?
The past week has been good! I have figured out that if I get enough rest and don't over do it I have fewer symptoms.  No nausea other than the one day last week and the aches are a bit less as well, stairs still leave me a little winded but I am back to  running a couple times a week.  OK it is only 5 KM but still, I will be cleaning off my road bike this week and replacing my running with a few easy bike rides a week Just like I said I would John!  It has really nice being able to get back to doing some exercise since the surgery and this has helped my head space.  Lori and I have been tackling the backyard over the weekend and with some help from Amanda and Johnathon it is really coming along, another few days and it will be well on its way to looking good again.
Well that is all for now so thanks again for reading this stuff and of course thanks to all for their hugs, notes and calls!
