    I need to go away somewhere where nobody can find me today.

    I dont mind doing it but it almost becomes my responsibility to do all these stuff and I dont like to be pushed like that.

    Makraz:  The coffee/tea was terrible! Memory is shot also! See my oncologist for my 4 month checkup--should have seen him in December but had to cancel and then he canceled. I am going to ask him about the Arimidex aches and he should give me a referral for Dexa Scan. So much fun--really dislike the month of January due to Fog.

    Oh yes, you would be a goon one.  I think I could get a career in the medical field too!  Sometimes I  think i know more than the doctors.

    Most of us on these boards have knowledge of lot of things. Tomorrow I will ask my PD for a

    Vitamin D test or maybe I should wait until March when I see my oncologist.

    Want to watch NCIS at 8 but will leave the computer on so I can check during commercials if kbugs daughter updated us or not.

    You should get the vit d check asap so you can adjust your levels if needed.  I'm amazed at how much better I feel since I've started taking it.

    Is there different tests? Or Vitamin D is the name of the test.

    Did you have any symptoms if yes what were they/

    This way I can exaggerate if he says I don't need it.

    It's a regular blood test.  I had my cholesterol checked and the dr. ordered a full blood  anaylsis.  That's when I discovered I was deficient.

    Do they normally take blood at your apt?  Tell them you want everything checked since you lost weight, you want to make sure your cholesterol is okay etc.

    What's a PD?

    My Onc orders the bone density test and she orders the Vit D, I wonder what test is next?  My PA-C does the cholesterol and Thyroid, I have an appnt for that in March.  Onco appt the 22nd of this month, I'm taking the whole damn day off. I'll have to talk with her, I am having issues with muscle cramps and my hips hurt at night.  It's tough getting old. Or it's the Arimidex.

    PD is my Primary Doctor.

    I go to him every 3 months checks cholesterol and liver enzymes.

    Once a year which is the next visit is my annual when a complete blood work is done.

    I don't think VD test is in  routine blood work.

    March1st I see the oncologist he also does blood work including CTM (Cancer Tumor Marker)

    Linda.. were you feeling tired because of the deficiency?

    Deb....What is PA-C.

    I had alot of joint pain, was very tired (that's why I started the b12) and felt depressed.  I still have joint pain, although better.  Not nearly as tired.  That part amazes me and also I am no where as depressed as I was before. 

    PA-C  Primary A????? Care?  Just guessing!

    It's the abbreviation for Physicians Assistant Certified, her title at the end of her name is PA-C, she works with my PCP which I have never seen because I don't want a paps by a man, I know that does not make sense cause when I do have a problem down there, I see an OB-GYN and he is a man.  Last time I went I had a small polyp on my cervix and had it biopsy then he caterized the area.  That was years ago.  If I start to have female problems I will ask for a female GYN not an OB-GYN. 

    I bought some B-12 but it is not chewable, I could not find any in Market Basket.  Oh well.

    I forgot they check for liver levels also.

    Deb.....Who takes care of your anal fissures (sp)

    Linda... since I dont have joint pain and not depressed because I take Antidepressants, sometimes I feel like couch potato, but it is not 24 hours a day. So what kind reason do I have for the test?

    I rarely get angry, but at this moment I listen for a minute to Susanne Somers in CNN,Joy someting  , the women is a fake and very dangerous to people that have real cancer.

    It felt great to scream before I changed the channel.
