Finally, the sun is out! However, my endocrinologist cancelled appointments yesterday and I’m running low on my diabetes meds. I just have to convince the pharmacist to extend the Rx for additional tablets. 😬

The annoying thing is, my blood sugar stayed constant even with the meds. So I must do more cardio exercises to burn calories. I admit I haven’t had any meaningful exercise since I came back from my doctors in June because I was too tired after work or the weather sucked.

My other blood chem was unremarkable except for my elevated white blood cells (but my red blood cells are fine). The hypochondriac that I am thought I have lymphoma. But I calmed down for a bit because I don’t have fevers and I’m not losing weight.

I just started to get paranoid ever since my sister and I attended a family function on my father’s side a few weeks ago. I learned that my uncle who used to live in San Francisco went home this year to get palliative care. He didn’t tell the family he has lymphoma (the same disease that my grandfather had) cancer of the bone marrow and now he has dementia. Then my only living aunt (youngest sibling of my father) clarified with us that my other aunt (my father’s eldest sibling) died of breast cancer and not of lymphoma.

That changes things. A lot.

Because my latest mammogram showed I have a cyst but it seemed benign because I told the sonologist that we don’t have a history of breast cancer, only lymphoma.

I have to go back to my gynecologist. I think she will tell me to have another scan in December.

My older sister was also panicking because her last mammogram showed a mass but it seemed like it was benign. But now that we now know breast cancer runs in the family, we need to be more vigilant. She has to go back to her doctor.

Last night I cooked hot pot because I ran out of ideas. And it was stormy.

I’m also too lazy to cook tonight so we went out to eat. I didn’t want to go to a fastfood restaurant so we ended up here because there was parking.

I will take a 10-day leave on the week of my birthday so I can attend to my physical health (i.e. appointment with my gynecologist) and mental well-being.
