August Oncologist Appointment

Hi Friends,

This past Monday I had my monthly oncologist appointment as well as my monthly palliative care appointment.

My oncologist said I am the only person in her practice that has not gone onto a lower dose of endocrine therapy when at the point in treatment at which I am currently! She said I must have amazing bone morrow that’s keeping my blood good enough to endure this dosage of treatment! So there’s that, haha. Yay for the bone morrow! Anyway, as I mentioned in the last post, as far as the scans look, my cancer is stable except for my right lung plural effusion which has grown a little. Unfortunately, I am having more discomfort in my liver area for the past two weeks. If this continues, I will have additional scans.

A palliative care team specializes in long term pain management. My team is amazingly helpful with lots of tips and ideas to help me with physical comfort.

Even though there aren’t always a ton of comments on this blog, I can see in the analytics that lots of people are checking in… I really appreciate it! I’ve added a little post to the Shadows section of the blog. You can check it out here: Peace
