Don Wood Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Lucie finished the 20 radiation treatments on her leg bone. Midway, the leg was feeling better, but lately the pain has increased. We suspect radiation damage since this is the second time the area was radiated. Hopefully, with time, this will improve. Lucie is glad to have this series completed. She continues to have Zometa once a month for the bones, and she sees the med onc once a month roughly. I am fine. Walking 20 min. a day (about a mile) and saw cardiologist. He says I can go back to the gym next week, but to start slowly. I will be happy with that. No more urinary bleeding since I got off the aspirin. I am taking Plavix now, which seems to do fine. Thanks for your continued support, caring and prayers. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBeth Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Don, Just saw your post and wanted you to know that you inspire me. You're walking 20 minutes a day...a mile; and I find myself getting winded just walking from the parking lot into my office. I'm glad you're doing so well and hope that Lucie continues to feel better also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynneH Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Good news for both you and Lucy! I see this as time for celebration in the Wood house (after Lucy's pain eases, and I know it will!). Perhaps you could throw in a few extra exercises for some of us (me) that haven't been motivated enough to pick it back up. Keep posting your good news, it's always heartwarming.
