Cindy’s Multiple Myeloma Blog

I can’t say I have much more relief from this abdominal pressure, maybe I’m just learning to cope with it.  At times I still wonder if I won’t just head on to an emergency room. 

I have pressure, whether I eat or not, whether I doodoo or not.  When I eat anything, then the pressure definitely increases.  But the pressure is always there, just intensity increases. 

Today I managed to accomplish some things in the right direction I think.  I have an appointment with my PCP next Tuesday at 11:00AM.  My sister doesn’t know it yet, and I hope she’s available.  She’s out and about today, but I will be talking to her tonight. 

I’ve asked my oncologist office and the GI doctor office to send all their results to Dr. P’s office by Monday.  It sounded like they might get it over there today.  I have a call in at the urologist’s office to get my records sent to both Dr. P. and to Dr. F, a previous urologist who took care of me. 

Hopefully Dr. P will be able to provide some immediate direction next Tuesday.  I just need to practice describing my symptoms.  It’s so hard since I have so many things going on with so many symptoms at the same time.  It’s difficult for me describing it and for the doctor receiving it.  I need to prepare like never before for this appointment with Dr. P next Tuesday, if I expect her to help me. 

This is a lot of responsibility for a sick girl, but once I get through this, I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished something grand!
