Journal entry by Joel Kennedy —
It's been awhile since I posted. I've been home now for about 3 months. I am blessed to be able to say at my check up December12th the doctors thought my skin and scars look really good. My lab values were all good except my white blood count that is a little low. I am currently recovering from sinus congestion and cough and right after thanksgiving I also lost my voice and had upper respiratory crap. Wondering if my immune system isn't quite up to par.
Around the 17th of December I was finally starting to have energy and more like my old self. What a great feeling!!!
My next check up will be in May. I will see 4 different doctors, lab work, mamo and a cardiac monitor. My port is scheduled too be removed at that time too.
Thank-you all for the prayers and well wishes, visits, cards, gifts and support as I went thru this treatment. May the coming year find you all in good health.
Life is fragile remember to tell those you love how you feel .
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
