Well, another week of medical tests are behind me. I celebrated with a trip to Bentsen to see the Ruddy Ground Dove above. Thanks to Roy and Bianca for arranging access for me!
My CT on Monday showed no change in the tumors, while on Wednesday scales before the port flush showed my weight back up to the highest level I’ve been all year. I’ve been feeling pretty good with the odd morning where I felt nauseous. Still, no increase in tumor size is great news in these COVID times.
So we will maintain the status quo with hormone blockers and blood thinners and add in another anti-cancer drug. It still sounds unusual to have the positive results from the current treatment and we are going to double down and try another drug in conjunction while I’m trying to avoid hospital visits. I’m hoping that it takes less than four calls to find out if and when they sent the prescription in. It’s likely my usual pharmacy can’t handle it but I don’t know where they will send it.
So Happy Thanksgiving, stay home, and wear a mask. That’s what I’m doing.
