Hello friends:

This is my June/July post.

I am feeling well and treatment is still the same, tumor markers have gone down to normal range, but my oncologist and I agreed to have a PET scan so we can see overall how I'm doing. The PET is scheduled for July 20th. I usually don't suffer from "scanxiety" but this time is different for two reasons: 1) this is the first PET in two years and 2) it will tell whether or not Ibrance/Faslodex are working.

I started the 4th cycle of Ibrance/Faslodex last Wednesday. The only side effects are nausea in the mornings which I combat with Zofran 8 mg, soreness at the site of the shots and fatigue but they are tolerable. My hair seems to have stop growing, it feels limp and Ibrance is suppose to cause hair to thin out so I am thinking this is as much as it's going to grow which isn't much.

My General Practioner who I've been seeing since 2013 is moving to another practice and although I can move with him, it's not very feasible since it's too far from where I live. Another doctor will be taking over his patients and I feel like I'm going to have to "train" him on all of my health issues. I haven't decided yet to stay or to follow him to the other clinic, it depends on whether or not someone, my daughter or my son-in-law can drive over to the new clinic, we shall see.

Thank you for whatever readers are here and till next time.
