I Went To My Primary Care Doctor Yesterday For My 6-Month Checkup…

@Berti33 Gonna run some tests like a bone scan, complete blood count, thyroid etc. Some of them long overdue.

@cherokeepatti Praying that ALL is well!!!

@4meAndyou thank you

@cherokeepatti A family doctor, I mean the one who you used to consult regularly can read you if healthy or sick in his looking at you, for a first impression. The tests confirm his assumptions.

@Berti33 I told him my back was hurting and gets worse every evening, that I have had degeneration in my lower back and neck vertebrae (went to a chiropractor and got x-rays on it) about 17 years ago. Also rheumatoid arthritis, there were no problems last year when I was on chemo, I guess the steroids they gave with chemo might have had something to do with, but it came back after surgery and with every cold front & precipitation my joints start swelling up. He’s checking everything and I think it’s good, mentioned that my hemoglobin count was nearly normal in January and he wants to check it again. Thyroid runs in my family with all the women, I think it’s OK but he wants to check it anyway. I was fighting cancer for two years and had surgeries (two different types of cancer and was Stage 4), chemo & radiation & needed blood transfusions too.
