Had my appointment with the oncologist today-by phone. There’s literally no change in my tumor markers or my white blood count from last time. That’s a good thing. No growth of my tumors according to the CT. He did mention the couple of spots on my lungs again but that’s not new.

They will be mailing me my prescription which means I’ll be a few days late starting my next cycle but he’s ok with that.

Life has gotten really weird with the pandemic. I’m totally fine with doing everything online or over the phone. It suits my personality. I’m not fine with stressing out when I have to go out to shop or for appointments that have to be done in person. I do miss being around people I know. I miss going for lunch, or having dinner with a friend, or just window shopping.

Having cancer made me mentally tired. Putting this pandemic on top of the cancer is just totally exhausting.

It was weird going to the hospital today for my CT. Parking is free. They stop you at the front door and ask you all the relevant questions to see if you have Covid-19. Everyone is wearing masks, including me.

They got the catheter in ok this time, it happened to be the same guy as the last time I got one. But….the injection site took a bit more time to stop bleeding. There’s always something… It really sucks that I can’t bring someone with me right now.

It’s so weird. My new normal when I new I had MBC was to be real careful who I let touch me, and not standing close to people who had coughs or colds. My new, new normal is more of the same only different. I don’t let anyone touch me anymore unless they’re a health professional and they need to. I’m ok with the 6 ft rule. I’m disinfecting everything I bring into the house. I’m more afraid of this virus than I am of my cancer right now.
