Ok so since
I only see the Dr about every 6 - 8 weeks now the reports are further apart. Still getting my port flushed once a month
and that’s not a big deal. More of a
hassle than anything else.
There is
some good news. This new drug does seem to be working, so far so good. But as I told Dr R
yesterday, we’ve gotten this far before with the shrinkage of the tumor than it
rears its ugly head again. So we will keep fingers, legs, toes and eyes crossed
that it continues to work in a positive manner.
The extreme exhaustion, is the major problem, and
the “mini tropical” (Hot flashes) vacations I’ve been having have been
interesting to say the least. I’ve been having trouble getting 10,000 steps a
day in not my usual 15,000 - 20,000 that I was doing before I stared on this
drug. Of course the weather isn’t helping with the outdoor walking either. The
wonky vision also tends to keep me home these days. So I spend my time walking
on my treadmill or riding the stationary bike. I wonder if I went off all these
“wonder drugs” (I wonder what they are doing) if my vision would return to
Normal? Whatever that is/was.
On the home front here I lost my little Chihuahua (whom
I loved very much) Kerby, Tasmanian She Devil. She had a major stroke and a
major heart a little over two weeks
ago. She has been greatly missed. I
rescued her 12 years ago and was told that she was between 2-4 years old at
that time. So she lived a long happy
life for 12 years.
