Checking My Cancer Involvement

In 8 days, I have a CT Scan and in 11 days, I see my Oncologist again to let me know the results of the CT Scan and if my cancer is simply riding along or gain speed...  I am in an interesting position in that, my CT Scan is basically looking for 2 types of cancer:  Non-Hodgkin's "B" Cell Lymphoma and Melanoma that is growing in the same spots as it previously was or has moved to a new location.

I am sure that my Oncologist will also ask about my overall physical condition relative to my Thyroid Meds in case he needs to increase the dosage.  Why do I say that?  Because I have been again feeling tired and have a loss of energy in the afternoons that had disappeared when I first started taking my Thyroid Meds.

I am also experiencing symptoms of mild depression or something because I have been thinking that if I contracted the Coronavirus that it would solve all my problems; although, I have absolutely no desire to do that...

What has been on my mind prompted by my daughter not sending me a Father's Day Card is the fact that ever since 1990 or for the last 30 years of my life, I have had NO NETWORK OF SUPPORT close to my location and have had absolutely no friends that I wanted to be with after work or on the weekends.  My wife and I see HER FRIENDS and I say that because we have nothing in common and therefore, we have nothing to talk about when together.

Since my wife retired, we seldom see any of her friends anymore either, although there are 2-3 that she alone stays in touch with and gets together for lunch and/or a movie.

In short, I am alone everyday, especially in the summer because my wife goes out on the deck and sits in the sun or under the gazebo and reads all day long, leaving me inside to do whatever all day long...  That whatever for me is writing and posting articles on my blogs, sleeping (napping actually) and watching the SyFy Channel or specifically the "X" Files or something like that...  since not all SyFy is good and worth watching.

Napping could also be a sign of depression or in my case more along the lines of my Thyroid than depression or actually it could be both I suppose.
