I got some test results back today, and in addition to cancer, it turns out I'm also vitamin D deficient, hyper cholesterolemic ( no surprise, but the numbers are BAD), and crazily inflammed (sed rate and CRP both severly out of normal). I spent an hour on Google trying to figure out what it all means.
Most of the test results are probably overlapping the cancer diagnosis, and most don't require treatments. I have prescription-strength vitamin D to take, and my dad suggested daily sunbaths - which is the most fun treatment I've had in a LONG time.
E moved the lounge chair so it catches the most rays, and I head out there with a pitcher of iced tea or water, a stack of magazines or a book, and my iPhone & set the timer for 15 minutes. I've also stopped using my strong SPF face cream, and just wipe the stick on my nose and lips so I don't look like Rudolph.
