***IF YOU ARE A FOXY, YOU ALREADY READ THIS POST!****
so, i am doing alittle search on 2peas for this mini book that i want to start and i find this thread about cancer and this drug that i am taking that leads me to start reading.
as i begin to read i have to stop to pick my f*CKING JAW UP OFF THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!
i am so mad right now.
go to google. type in topamax and kidney stones.
tell me why i am still taking the damn drug.
if i get another kidney stone i can die people!
why would my urologist and my neurologist, both who know i am on the drug *MAXIMUM DOSE PEOPLE* and both who know i only have ONE FREAKING KIDNEY keep me on the freaking drug WITHOUT EVEN INFORMING ME of the POSSIBILITY of the INCREASED RISK of KIDNEY STONES!!!!
UGHHHH!
granted, going on the damn drug, which probably gave me the damn kidney stone, which lead to finding the damn cancer is what saved my beautiful life in the first place- but GOOD GOD! can you INFORM A GIRL PLEASE!? i am so sick of having to EDUCATE MYSELF! when we are taught to TRUST the doctors to take care of us.
here i go again!
watch out world- if you had plans on monday to go to the **** hills kaiser i would stay far away because you are going to hear me making LOTS AND LOTS OF NOISE!!!!! i have to find out if i am going to continue taking this damn drug or not.
UNBELIEVABLE!

eeeeks April, thats a heck of a surprise to find that info out, good luck with kicking up a storm and getting some answers. A shame you had to find this information out yourself in this way.
That is F#^$@!%& crazy! Ya um you need to find out why the heck they have you still taking this. Your BFF wants to kick their butt!
Wow. I have just been getting all caught up on your blog - the cancer, the treatment, etc. You are so strong, girl!! And I admire your faith. I have read some neat things here.
This post? I can totally understand your frustration and fear over this. No doubt you've already talked to your doctors about this (because I'm very late finding your amazing blog and reading this post!) so I hope that you've come to a good decision with them, that's right for you. Definitely keep yourself informed, and question things you are not sure of. Doctors need to be accountable.
Hang in there, I am very inspired by your journey!
