Hello friends and family. Checking in with you all to share I have no big news. That is good!
I had my monthly oncology appointment and things are “fine”. I’m taking my Ibrance (CKD 4/6 inhibitor), I got my shots today (Lupron & Fulvestrant) and I’ll go back in 4 weeks. Such is the life of an MBC patient .
I’m grateful for this. So many friends and acquaintances with MBC are not in a relatively easy place. I acknowledge that life is good right now.
Life is good but not pain free. I had my back procedure on June 1 and I am still having hip and leg pain from the nerve compression by my spine. My physical therapist and acupuncturist pointed out that it will take 4-6 weeks after surgery to feel normal. So, I wait and hope that it all resolves.
My blood work – specifically tumor markers – have been rather erratic, bouncing high and low. Because of this my oncologist said he is going to focus on results from scans and take any blood work information “with a large grain of salt”. I will have scans again in August.
Scan, assess, repeat.
Late last month we were in Galveston, TX for Maddy’s national dance competition. She did amazing and we are super proud. We spent a few days in Steamboat Springs after the Fourth of July and it was very relaxing. I’m grateful for both opportunities.
I hope your summer is shaping up exactly how you’d like it to be. If you get some wanderlust, come on out to Colorado. We have space for you and lots of fun things to do in summer.
