Still have a tumor :(
Dear Diary,

Today I went to the endocrinologist. *my mom even took me* SO after waiting, I go inside to go talk to her. She likes, so, how you doing, fine. Then, she says why haven't you been coming to your appointments. THe people with the growth hormone were here. Then she starts worrying off some numbers. She looks at my hormone then shows me. My levels are way up. She wants to give me more pills. Then I tell her that I haven't been taking my pills. She says, you want a death wish. I laughed and said no. Then she looked me dead in the eye and said, I"m Serious. I was like what. She said one of the pills I'm taking was shrinking part of the tumor they didn't take out. *I thought they took it all out* I told her that, then she said, why you think the levels are so high. You still have it. Also, I'm very low on cortisol. Guess that's important. She said, without enogh of that, I could die if I got ammoniua or something. *my eyes got teary* So after that, she ordered a blood test. One today, one on the 17th of September. She said, take your pills if you want to go back to normal. So I get the blood out. Then we go to Walgreens. We pick up the prescription. COme to find out I got booted off Medical. *later I called the social worker, he said they thought I was still with DMV* Worse, they don't got no bromocription. Neither does any other pharmacy. Great.

Eventually we get home. Then I take my pills. After, I get tired. I wake up to find I'm very tired, so i try to wake up and I get dizzy. Then as I was walking, my muscles felt very weak. After, I threw up and went back to sleep. Luckily, my mom stayed home, she took care of the lil bro and sis. Also, I tried to hide my weakness, She knew. Then she preceeded to kinda baby me. DO you want water. Anything I can get ya. Just now I started to feel ok, though I still am weak. I feel like I felt after coming home from the hospital.

Tino, I am so sorry!
Since you have been off of the pills, your body will have to get used to them all over again! That means that your body will go through some adjustment trying to accept the pills all over again. This may make you sick until it is accepted!
I will be praying for you!
I am your friend and I am here for you if there is anything that I can do!

I really hope that once you have been on the pills consistantly, you can feel normal again. And remember, you will have your reward in heaven and it will be better then anything here on earth. I'll be praying for you.

Somehow, even though I haven't had the time to visit my other DD friends, I was led here. Now I know why.

My son had leukemia. He too, was (is) a good kid. He didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't do drugs, he was a good kid. During the UT football games he was in the hospital overlooking "the strip" (a street UT fans nicknamed that). I could look out the window and see other young men about his same age drinking, raising cain, and I would wonder why my son, why my D? D is a good boy, why him? I felt like throwing something at them, didn't they know my son was figthing for his life, didn't they know that???

So, from a mother's point of view, I know how you're feeling. I'm sooooo very sorry, I really am. Know, though, that if you just let God have his will, don't be selfish, and just ask Him to help you get through your trials, He will. I know that, too, from experience. You see, my D was not expected to live 100 days past his transplant. It will be five years in February.

God Bless You,
Star

PS You can read about D's transplant in my diary if you feel up to it sometime. Just go to index, previous months, and it will be there. I think the entries are called "The Transplant" and "The Transplant, II".

I'll send a prayer upstairs for you.
