I'm home!

I stopped taking narcotics and antinausea meds in the hospital in the middle of the night Saturday night. By late afternoon on Sunday, I was able to finally eat a turkey sandwich (my mouth felt like cotton). Once I was able to eat solid foods, Dr. H discharged me, so I came home this morning! Yay!

I do have some pain - but really minor (a 1 out of 10), more like a discomfort that Liz talked about. I really don't even feel much of the pain until I cough and I seem to be coughing quite a bit from a build-up of fluids in my lungs.

But, I have boobs! Yay!

And, Dr. C took out my ovaries. While she had the camera looking at my insides, she took pictures of my liver, my gall bladder, my uterus and fallopian tubes in addition to the ovaries. The good news? There's nothing on the liver. It looks whole and pink and healthy. No lesions. Great news - means that the cancer has not spread there. So, as far as we know, it's only in the bone marrow.

Dr. H also excised the bad radiated tissue where the wound was (no more open skin wound!) and they sent it to the lab to test for cancer. I don't expect the lab to find any. I'll keep you all posted.

Otherwise, I'm trying to keep a low profile - need to figure out a comfortable spot on the couch.

Whew. Glad it's over and done with. Now, on to the healing!
