Doctor's visit

Psalm 105:4 Look to the Lord and His strength; seek his face always.

I saw my primary care doctor today. The reason I had to go to begin with was that when she did the pap smear in January, there wasn't enough substance to be tested. She said it might happen again because I am on Arimidex which is an anti-estrogen medication. This causes dryness. She said that the chemo may have caused the problems back in January. If it doesn't work this time, she said we'll try again in a year. I told her that there was an OB/gyn dr. who came to our breast cancer support group and said that if you have had a hysterectomy, that pap smears are not needed anymore. I asked my doctor what she thought and she disagreed and believes women still need to have a pap smear every year.

I asked her too about the rash under my breasts. She looked at it and thought maybe it was from the sweating that I get from hot flashes. Could be a fungus but since the hydrocortizone worked, she didn't think it was fungal. She suggested I use powder like baby powder. Kinda of weird since I've been sweating for about a year and never had this problem but who knows....

Today I decided to go back and copy my blog posts so I can keep a record of all I've written like in a notebook to remind me about my journey. All I got done was April which seems alot and there is so much more!!! There will come a time soon when this journey will be over and I won't be writing on this blog. So sad to know that you all won't be reading this but so happy that my cancer journey is ending. But not yet......thanks for your prayers.

I John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask --we know that we have what we asked of him.
