Mom came with me to the Cancer Clinic today to meet my new GPO. It’s so weird having to cover my medical history and everything all over again, like it’s new. Guess I was spoiled (lucky) to have the same oncologist for 10 years.

I pick up the new drugs tomorrow and start taking them Thursday. I know that Ibrance was a chemo drug, but my dr never referred to it as such. They keep referring to Capecitabine, the new drug, as “chemo” which, for some reason really depresses me, and it comes with new side effects to get used to. We’ll see what those are as I get into the drug regime. Chemo brain is one that sticks out for me. 😦 This drug’s cycle is 2 weeks on, one week off so I’ll be seeing the GPO more often. Every 3 weeks.

Finally found out where my tumours are. The pelvis, in the area of the hip joint. About 6 or 7 vertabrae. Can’t remember which ones exactly, but T8 is one of them, the rib beside it on the left is what was fractured, and I think T5, T8, T9, T10. Also a couple or so of the lumbar spine and my right scapula. It’s a little more than I was expecting but it also answers all the questions about why it’s hard to sit, stand, sleep in one position for too long. I guess heavy lifting is out ~shrug~.

I did get gifts today…LOL They gave me a thermometer and would have given me hand cream and Imodium but I have those already.

Been trying to settle myself since I got home but all I feel right now is “bluh”
