Keep calm and carry on
It's been a while since my last blog post. Honestly nothing too much has been happening.
I was taking the experimental drug I mentioned in my last post but after a bone scan it showed it had not been working and two new cancers have popped up in my femur and rib bones.
How did I feel about that? Not surprised; I mean I didn't want to hear I have new cancers but since I began the trial drugs I did not feel any change within myself like the side effects (nausea, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, etc), none what so ever so I assumed it wasn't working as it grew nearer to my bone scan and they cannot up the dosage of the drugs. In fact no one has had a bigger dosage than me.
I have now begun to take Everlomis. It's been a couple of weeks now and my belly gets upset from time to time and my liver in slightly imflamed but apart from that I feel fine.
I also found out my tendons in my hips are weak from chemo and radiotherapy. I've had a hard time trying to exercise and being menopausal I have no motivation LOL. I can't believe the changes in your body when you are in menopause! I'm definately not the same person as I was physically. I can't even do my Pilate moves anymore, I get craps, I have no strength and when I sweat I have a hot flush at the same time which makes it super worse and uncomfortable! I'm still learning how to take care of myself.
