MRI

So I was not liking these new and old but progressing and debilitating symptoms and went to my doc who recommended a great neurologist. The old stuff that is getting worse is as many of you know my processing, word finding and cognition. I don't make sense half of the time and forget how to write and what words I want to say. words that I know. Which is why I slowed down a lot on my blogging. I am also having trouble focusing,my memory is going and I can't walk straight. You read it right. I can't walk straight. My words are slurred and my vocal chords "twitch" for lack of a better way to describe it. I'm not drunk so don't even think of it. My fingers and toes get numb as well as my scalp,head...whatever. My arms get weak. im very, very, very fatigued my hearing is fuzzy and my vision is blurred and Im dizzy almost all the time. My neurologist examined me and said he was concerned about my overactive reflexes and therefore wants me to get an MRI. I agreed and expected the process to be a slow one but in a matter of a few days I've seen the neurologist, have been tested by a neuropsychologist and will be having my MRI tomorrow night. I didnt even have to call to schedule the MRI the doctor did everything including getting in contact and with my medical insurance people and getting the authorization to have it done. On the 21st I have another test, a three hour test with the neuropsychologist. whew. slow down because now the rush is freaking me out. but I suppose if it was taking too long I would be angry so i should consider the efficiency a blessing.
I'm avoiding googling the symptoms because I don't want to put things in my head that shouldn't be there

Nora will not be taking the pill, instead she will be given eight treatments intraveneously. I spoke to her today and she told me that the doc said that nausea will not be an issue, hair loss will not occur either. She seems to be in good spirits. This treatment is milder than chemo. I don't know all the details but if this doesnt work than the straight up chemo will be the next step.

Stage

She is in stage 2, Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. She will be taking eight cycles of Rituxum(?) She will call me tonight. If anyone out there can tell me what to expect it would be really helpful. I'm a mess and I think it's because I don't know what is going to happen next. I don't know what to prepare for.

Monday we find out what stage of lymphoma my sister is in. My mother called me up today and we spoke on the phone for an hour. She cried a lot. I'm trying to be strong for her and for my sisters. My brother has opted to step away from the crisis and keep to himself. I'm not too happy with him right now but I still love him.
