I am not sure what the upper abdominal pain is all about. I have been having it all week, the worst part being mostly after dinner. It is usually located in the upper left part of my abdomen. It is so uncomfortable I have had to start taking a Tylenol to help relieve it which it does.
My doctor is away at the moment so tomorrow I hope to be in touch with her.
Meanwhile, I will take each day as a gift, and deal with it the way I think I need to. I will have to go back to eating small portions more often during the day which I have been lax in doing. I have also been "delinquent" about the type of food I am eating which means I have eaten pork and beef sometimes, indulged in a creamy dessert a few evenings and think that may be causing the pain. I really don't know.
I also haven't been exercising the way I did last year. I get up in the morning and want to go swimming if the weather is good, but then get lazy, and there I go. I end up doing computer or housework, and just get lazy because I am tired I guess.
Friday I had my blood test again and will look forward to finding out about the platelets, etc. The pills I am taking (Lynparza) sometimes affect the platelets and cause them to get low. If they are to be found lower than the average mark is, the doctor will tell me to stop the pills for awhile until the platelets get built up again. I am thinking maybe the platelets are low and causing me to feel more tired than I was. But who knows until the results come back(?) Yesterday, the tumor marker was not ordered according to the nurse who took my blood!
There is always the fact that I am 77, and old age, whether mental or physical, is still here:)
I am looking forward to "making it" to our 50th wedding anniversary, Sept.20. That is in 3 months, and I hope to be well enough to "celebrate" which means: to be very thankful!💗

...darn! I'm so sorry to read this but feel so thankful that you do write us. I imagine you are certainly tired of this whole thing, thankful but tired of hearing us well wishers,tired of the return pains, tired of the waiting for Dr.'s decisions....but if you have the strength,please don't give up, try not to lose that Mimi spirit. Selfish, aren't I. YES! After all, we can still do a geriatric version of H/G!!! Instead of strawberries, prunes! And happily wandering from home with our walkers....we don't think we're lost! What are the hysterics about! And we'd bring our cell phones....oh, those are the TV remotes.....but wouldn't we have fun!!
I'm sure you've done this, I have, we all have, perhaps....just a heartfelt talk with God, even his Mom, and your Mom, and all those before you....... The power of prayer down here to "those up there", is........powerful!
