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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Magic mouthwash is a joke and not magic at all.

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.

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.

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.
