Just like the old days

All the old things are coming back. My blood sugars have skyrocketed to above 600. I have lost ten pounds in as many days. I am talking to doctors, three of them today, my primary care physician, my endocrinologist, and my oncologist. I meet with my oncologist again tomorrow to discuss going back on chemo earlier than planned. I am very concerned that the cancer is making an aggressive comeback. That must be met and met soon or I may suffer some very difficult setbacks.

My main concerns right now are blood sugars and stress. These two factors seem to hold great importance right now. Losing the weight is a concern, but not a great concern. Vanity is a factor here. I want to end up at or near 200 pounds but not if I have to have some reserve left for emergencies.

Tomorrow when I meet with my oncologist I will have some very direct questions that he will no doubt find very uncomfortable. I won't cover them because they will make my audience rather uncomfortable too. But this is very much a life and death struggle and the answers are very important to me.

So tonight I will take my super dooper pain pills and try to get some sleep. tomorrow is going to be tough.
