Hi all,
Just thought I should pop in and give an update to you all.
My tumour markers on bloods are dropping still or remaining stable so the combo of letrozole and ribociclib is definitely working!! I've had repeat bone scans which showed my shoulder tumour which didn't show up on original bone scan (but did on PET scan). I thought this was shit news as I figured it meant it had progressed but nope oncologist assures me that's the way a healing bone will show up on a bone scan. I trust her implicitly and have a deal with her that she's not to sugar coat anything! Despite weight gain, which i can live with, I've only really noticed considerable tiredness but as a single mum who is still working she assures me most people would be bloody tired with what I deal with every day!! I'm still managing to work part time and have actually increased my hours this last few months as cancer isn't exactly a cheap thing to have! I'm surrounded by amazing family and friends who have my back at all times! I cried recently when my breast surgeon made a review appt for June next year and I said that 6 months ago I didn't think I'd be here to be making appts in mid 2020! I'm trying to take each day as it comes and be grateful for the amazing advances in treatment every day
Much love to all xoxoxoxoox
