I’ve decided to take a break from this drug. With my fingernails lifting and the tips of my fingers going numb, to all the other side effects I have, I just need a break. My bloodwork is “stable” and my cancer antigens are still within the 30-50 range where they’ve been for months so I should be ok. Not sure if it’ll be one week or 2 but we’ll see. The GPO also says we can drop the dosage again or change the cycle, one week on, one week off. My appointment next week is in person. I guess they want to see my hands and feet rather than classifying me as a “level two” on my say so.

Also got a call from the Victoria clinic. He saw I’d had a CT and was concerned that no one had gone over the results with me. No problemo. I can interpret them myself. He reminded me that last time my CT was fine but my bone scan showed uptake so we will just see what it shows before I can breathe again. Yet another oncologist will be calling me in July to follow up.

I sometimes wonder how I’m supposed to feel normal when I don’t feel normal….I just feel overwhelmed. Sometimes it’s just all too much.
