The oncologist wasn’t kidding when he said things were going to happen fast.

As with the bone scan, the CT took two tries to get the line in 😦

I feel like I did when I was first diagnosed.

My friend has been visiting this week which is the only bright spot. Like old times with him here to take me to all my appointments. He also gets to see the beautiful place I live. The neighbor fed the eagles with fish parts again this morning. It is awesome to watch the bald eagles feed.

New oncologist wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted my scans to happen as soon as possible.

Had the bone scan yesterday and as is the normal for me, they couldn’t find a vein the first try. Had to redo the injection dosage because “there was too much blood in the needle”. Second try worked. It does make for a really long day when you have to sit around and wait for a couple of hours after the injection, especially when this is all being done in another town about 30-45 minutes away.

I couldn’t see the monitor for the scan as well as I could the first time so not sure where the cancer is for sure, but my pelvis was noticable. I’ll find out in a couple of weeks, after my CT, and after they’ve compared the two scans.

I finally took another pain pill last night about 1 am. 3 weeks of constant pain and no sleep and I just couldn’t take it any more. I’ve taken more of them so far this year than I had hoped to but logic is starting to win out. There’s no reason to force myself to put up with the pain when I have some relief readily available, even if it does make me feel a little loopy.

All of this sure brings up the anxiety level. I’m in between treatments and they’re trying to get the second line of treatment going. New side effects(soon), new doctors, new hospitals, new home, more pain, scans. Good thing my new home calms me down, what with the sea air and the sound of the ocean waves. If I still lived in Maple Ridge I’d be more out of sorts than I am.
