Cancer Sucks
Cancer turned her into a warrior.
And on Oct 23, 2024, Cancer stole her away from this family.
Far too soon.
Far too suddenly.

A milestone birthday was celebrated this past Sunday with just those she wanted present.
Physical exhaustion is still part of a daily living for her. And this weekend was even more so

The edema hasn’t shown signs of any relief.

Infusion is 2 hours long.
Cancer has spread to the clavicle area.
Next drug combo of Abraxane/Keytruda starts Wednesday.
This is becoming one long bad dream that keeps getting worse every few weeks.
Stg4MBC is a train wreck in extreme slow motion
Pet Scan is Over.
Now the battle of wits and waiting begins, till the next Onco Consult Monday.
Hopefully this was just a cautionary halt in treatment.
Time will tell.

Give it a try sometime.
You’d be amazed at the difference it makes in the life of the person who’s talking.

There is a lot of misery being experienced because either the tumor has increased in size or the brachial nerve bundle in the right arm is regenerating new nerves resulting in severe edema

We saw an NP March 20.
Ultrasound & Pet Scan have been scheduled for March 22 and next Wednesday because of developments around the initial area of metastasis.
It never gets easy.
This Pet Scan to Pet Scan existence is surely not for the faint of ❤️

Truth is…I don’t know.
2022 and 2023 was rough on all of us.
2024 a wee bit better for me.
Now come to find out - they’re called her in for an unscheduled consult last week week to discuss PT and OT findings and then schedule a ULTRASOUND.

Iron numbers trending down.
Iron added to the infusion
Tumor markers trending up. No end in sight.
Chemo only prolongs the misery. Zero improvement in QOL.
Life has to go on. No time for a pity party

After taking a break…..I’ve started going back for her appointment check in’s
Hemo numbers are trending down. If this continues…either there will be an iron infusion next Tuesday…or a blood transfusion.

The Tumor Markers have leveled off…but continuous monitoring will still be needed.
This is becoming a hard existence.
From a purely selfish standpoint, my normal disappeared as of Dec 2021.
At the meeting with the Oncologist, we were apprised of additional treatment regimens that are now available, should Trodelvy stop being effective.
Because the Tumor Markers are trending up…continuous monitoring will be needed.

….no change in meds (chemo) for now…..however tumor markers (which are on the rise) will be closely monitored.
Almost a week and still no results. I don’t want to read too much, but I am very uneasy when results are not published ahead of doctor’s visit. Each time this has happened….we were told at the docs appt that the cancer has spread.
I am🤞but so stressed.

Today is the day where one of us gets to lie in a tube…then be told in a few days, if the stubborn cancer cells are being controlled with the current treatment, or have spread necessitating a change in treatment Protocol.
Yeah it’s Pet Scan day.

This cold snap has abated but the cough lingers.
Between last year and this year same time….I can unequivocally say that she is in a hugely better place.
Next week is Pet Scan week. 🤞🤞🤞
This cold snap has been brutal on allergies causing her to experience some extreme bouts of coughing.

Her energy levels are back up.
Hopefully this will last till April/May 2025 so that she’s ready for our first son’s wedding
It’s been a quiet start to the year. Many not so pleasant things have been said.
Not sure if all families who’re going through this are susceptible to this or if it’s isolated amongst folks who are Type A Personalities.
Either way…I WALK AWAY
