Had my GPO appointment today. She confirmed that the side effects U have are “some people” ones. Diarrhea on my off weeks is normal for some people. Not being able to sleep is normal for some people. I’ll be continuing the sleeping pills for now. When I don’t take them, I literally can’t fall asleep. Fatigue fluctuations are normal for some people. No hand or food issues which is good. I mentioned all the red in my blooswork numbers, including some kidney function. She said the only ones they concern themselves with is my hemoglobin and lymphocytes. Seems odd to me but they’re the proffessionals.

I gotta say, I’m not liking this drug. Not liking the new side effects, not liking having to force myself to eat breakfast then 12 hours later, another “substancial” amoiunt of food to take with the pills. Good thing it’s 2 weeks on the drugs and 1 week off. Hoping I’ll get used to it like I kinda did with the Ibrance/Letrozole.

On top of it all, not being able to see properly really makes me feel like an invalid. It’s great that mom drives me around because I can’t see well enough and we get to spend all that time together, but it’s more than the driving. It’s reading, needing to get my nose almost to the screen to see the words on my computer, crochetting, enjoying my beautiful ocean view. I can’t wait to have all that back.

I have so much going on next month that I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. Cataract surgery, bone scan, CT, bloodwork a couple of times.
