My minor hiccups

3 Oct, Sat evening, I had gone to the toilet, didn't move my bowels, but I noticed there was a significant amount of blood in the toilet bowl. Strange that I hadn't felt it coming out.

My first concern was whether it had anything to do with my colon, although I was hoping that it had only been the piles. I did chakra adjustment on myself for piles and bleeding and so far, thankfully, there hadn't been anymore bleeding. I had also not felt any discomfort, but I am monitoring the situation.

That same weekend, my lymphedemic right arm was giving me some problems. Certain parts were red, swollen, hard and painful. As I had no fever, I didn't think there was any infection. The only reason I could think of was that the AM could be treating my kidneys then. Anyway, some days later, the pain and swelling disappeared and I forgot to check with the AM.

For some weeks now, I have had to use a special latex free advanced protection plaster on the lump that was on the side of my right chest. The position of this lump was such that it was in contact with my undergarment and the constant chafing had caused the lump to be blistered and the skin to break. I had to plaster it to protect it and help it heal. The lump is still there and now about 3cm away, there is another new tiny little lump. Anyway, I have the situation monitored. My next visit with my onco is 9 Nov and I will check with him then.
