CT scan coming soon

So I went to the doctor Monday and she wants me to get my first ct on the 19th of July. As of right now it is actually scheduled for the 25th but am trying to get it for the 19th. Trying to work out some insurance issues. Which is the biggest pain in the butt.

I am so ready to get it so we can see if the tumors are shrinking and no more have popped up! I think the worst part about this is everytime I have some type of pain you wonder in your head if a new tumor is developing. I am not sure if that will ever go away but lets hope it does because it can be a very scary feeling to thing a normal pain is something more serious.

I have been experience a pain in my left side lately that I mentioned to the doctor and she believes it is my kidney. Sometimes it hurts so bad and others it is fine. Doesn't have signs of kidney stones so she doesn't believe it is that. I guess if it is anything important then we will find out when the ct happens.

I did find out that the meds I take (Gleevec) just finished a trial and found that three years is better then one so as of now I will be taking it for atleast three years. The down side to that is for atleast 3yrs I will have to function with the side affects such as nausea. But on the upside maybe it will give me a better chance of fighting this.

Other then that nothing new is going on so lets hope everything comes out great and we don't have to up the mg of the meds or switch to a new one. I will update again soon!
