I am waiting for one more report, but so far scans did not go well.
Still processing while waiting for the last shoe to drop.

The most anxiety inducing thing an Oncologist can do to a patient is not following up on a scan because the impression has implications of further progression of metastatic disease. - even if another speciality ordered it

Another pulmonary function test and then Chest CT to see if my lungs are the same, better or worse.
If they’re worse, I could be excluded from the #clinicaltrial I am trying to get into.
While I wait for results & trial status - no flu or covid vaccines for me. 😒

Urgent Care examining room
X-rays of my broken rib
Spent my morning at Urgent Care getting X-rays of my ribs. Turns out I broke another one. I knew I did because you don’t forget that kind of pain. #ThisIsMBC #ThanksCancer

I am legit concerned that I won't be able to keep up with my kids at Disney.
I went to bed at 5pm yesterday and didn't wake up until 7am today and still feel like I could sleep another 8 hours.
Down 10 lbs now.

Mouth sores
I got ‘em
How in the actual hell do people live like this? I can barely swallow & forget eating.
Magic mouthwash is a joke and not magic at all.
Suggestions? Advice? I need it.

Low calcium
Low phosphorus
Platelets took a nose dive
Liver numbers look ok
WBC not awful
Neutrophils low but not terrible
Now I know why I feel like my ass is dragging & my head hurts.

Down 5lbs in 6 days for all the wrong reasons.
Labs tomorrow to find out how immunocompromised I am with two weeks of Verzenio down.

Dear Verzenio,
Why do you hate me?
I thought we were getting along.

Day 2 of Verzenio/Arimidex
Horrible nausea & headaches
I can't leave the house without Zofran. Honestly, I would rather have the debilitating diarrhea than this nausea.

Verzenio and anti-diarrheal
My “welcome” package for my new treatment plan includes anti-diarrheal medicine. 💩
Looks like I'll be home most of next week until my body adjusts.

My Oncologist called. She wants to meet tomorrow regarding the blood biopsy. It’s an end of day appointment so I’m low key freaking out for two reasons: Meeting in person is code for “not great news” & end of day appointments are for spending as much time as necessary.

Y'all you have no idea how difficult it is to take time to visit my parents, who live 30 minutes away, knowing who they voted for and STILL defend.
I decided, that after I start my new treatment (whatever that is), they can come to me if they want to see me.

Today, I’ll be receiving my 110th (& hopefully last) dose of Faslodex. That's 220 injections in all (two injections each time).
While I am glad these have kept me stable for longer than most, I won't miss getting them each month as they are extraordinarily painful.

About Nine inches of my hair on the floor of the salon.
In light of my current medical situation, I decided to cut off a bit more than I normally would.
My new motto is: “Prepare for the worst & hope for the best.”

Telling my son about my scan results was the hardest thing to tell him since my original diagnosis.
I wish there was a way to keep him from knowing/worrying. But I would never lie to him in order to spare him.
Lying is so much worse.

Guardant 360 liquid biopsy blood test
Met with my Oncologist to discuss the next steps with the progression in my bones. She will be looking at #ClinicalTrials depending on what the #Guardant360 says.

Partial results from last week's scans are back and it's not ideal. Hoping the rest come in before I see my oncologist on Wednesday so I have all my questions for her prepared. #ThisIsMBC #LifeWithCancer #ThanksCancer

Neuclear injection done.
Now I'm sitting in the waiting room scrolling BlueSky waiting to be called for my CT. Then I'll wait some more until my Bone Scan.

Next Friday, I have my six month scans to see if the cancer has progressed and I can honestly say, progression may not be so terrible considering what's happening these days.

Tomorrow I am supposed to have treatment.
While it doesn't take long, it is excruciating. It's not fun.
I am starting to wonder if the pain is worth it, in light of what's happening in this country.
Maybe it's time that put QOL ahead of everything.

Waiting to find out if the insurance company will cover the first treatment in over a year that has fully stabilized the cancer is terrifying. #ThisIsMBC #bcsm

A1: I am a wife (almost 24 years), a mother (my daughter will be 20 in December), a doctor (obstetrics and gynecology) who had to stop practicing when diagnosed with MBC. I live in the US, in California.
