I’ve had slight headaches and mild nausea for about a week, but I think that’s from the Decadron (steroid). The radiation nurse contacted my PDN (personal designated nurse) and I got a call this afternoon saying to stop the Decadron (yahoo!!!). I see the radiation oncologist on Thursday and the medical oncologist on Friday, so I’m hoping that between the 2 of them they can figure out why I’ve lost my voice.
In between all of these appointments, I’m hoping to make it out to a ‘rehearsal/trial run’ on Thursday for an upcoming canoe trip with a group of friends. I’m not sure if I’m up for paddling, but it’s been suggested that I could be the shuttle person between the camping sites along the way. That way I can still participate and camp with them at night. But, unless I get my voice back, I think I’ll have to skip the campfire sing-along. :-)

Its great to get out and enjoy life; do the leisure activities you've always done. Just pace yourself and modify the activity as needed. Listen to what your body is telling you. If it says, rest. REST!
I love how you are focusing on the positive. I noticed that you posted a comment on another ladies blog about the Running Room offering running clinics for cancer survivors. I am actually going to be leading the clinic in York Region. I am a stage three breast cancer survivor and a mother and out of treatment have lauched a new cooking show called Marlene's Meal Makeovers. I would really appreciate any feedback you may have. My website is www.marlenesmealmakeovers.com and my blog is marlenemacpherson.blogspot.com. Best health to you!
Marlene - I put a link to your website in my next post. I'm sure some of the recipes on my recipe blog at http://edgerecipes.blogspot.com/ could use a healthy makeover!
