A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
Because nights are so busy around here (big surprise with two little kids) I’m trying to switch my work out routine to mornings. I set out everything ahead of time last night and it worked out pretty well. I was up at 4:45 and immediately out the door and on the elliptical by 5am. It’s not convenient but I think it’s the only way to be somewhat consistent.
I saw the psychiatrist today to talk about the Celexa I’m taking. I think it must be helping because my mood is pretty good most days and the only side effect I have is some insomnia. She suggested I start taking it in the morning versus at night before bed. I hope this works, because I do love my sleep and it’s especially sad to be up when I don’t want to when I’m tired and fatigued from the hypothyroidism.
Tomorrow is head and neck cancer clinic with Dr. Sorensen. It always makes me nervous having appointments that have anything to do with cancer, even though I know he’ll have no news to tell me and everything surgically looks great. I do intend to ask him about what thyroid cancer services are available in the Beaufort area. I know the VA down there has endocrinology.
Have a great night!
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
