One step at a time

Well working on the positives....
Having a two week break was well needed....very quiet and restful.
Saw my rads onc, she confirmed the rash on my arm was most likely from the rads. It cleared p over the following week, and I finally got back to Bikram...yay.
Had my 3rd denosumub jab, and I thought things were going great news was my t-markers were down for the first time in nearly a year...woot
Then they went to take some blood....the nurse was having some trouble....I was focussing on my breathing.... And then things started going black...so I rested my head back in the chair...next thing I was surrounded by nurses asking if I was ok...doing blood pressure obs...wow...the numbers were right down from a few minutes earlier... Not usually one to swoon.....so I had to hang around longer after they found a vein and a gun nurse to take the blood. Hmmmm not looking forward to the next one at the path lab near home.
All good now.... Still incredible aches in my legs and feet....hip pain is subsiding, and my arm has good days and bad...depending on whether I remember to not use it so much...
Week one of the new term is done and going well...feeling on top of it, well as much as I can... Feeling supported ta work.
Have finally told my closest girl friends...that was hard....but at least I was able to tell them the good news about the markers....
Looking forward to a weekend of escape at the races....going to be cold and wet...brrrr....and good feeling alive.
