Thursday

I have had night sweats all my life and my father had night sweats throughout his entire life as well; however, I do not know if my father's father had them or if his father's father's father had them as well and I am not sure if 4 generations back matters.

My cancers as well as all my cancer treatments cause night sweats to take place as well, so I am not really sure if it is my body or my cancers or my cancers treatment that are causing these night sweats to happen and here recently the night sweats have been intermittent...  and, sometimes they are heavy and sometimes they are light...  and, sometimes they happen just after midnight...  and, sometimes they happen an hour or two before sunrise.

But, whenever they take place, I can never go more than one day out without having to take a shower for obvious reasons...  but, in case you are not following me, my sweating simply STINKS.

The doctors are not really sure what, if anything, there is to do, except ride it out until they happen every night and are excessively heavy.

Fatigue is associated with my cancers and their treatment and also with my Thyroid which the pills have been managing and while my fatigue is not as severe as it once was, it has returned but only in the afternoon, around 3:30 or 4:00 pm...   and, when it hits, I can hardly keep my eyes open but sometimes if I eat an early supper/dinner it will go away...  so, I am not sure if my fatigue is fatigue or just low blood sugars.

Needless to say, life is interesting these days...

AND...

in a couple of weeks, I will have a CT Scan to further track and analyze this tumor in my lung...

AND...

in a few weeks after that, I will have a COLONOSCOPY (after 2 years since the last one) to see if all the beans and veges I have been eating regularly is actually working.
