Talked to my oncologist today. The bone scan shows uptake in all my tumours. Moderate uptake in my hip/pelvis area bones. This could be the cause of some of my hip pain. And some new ones. Degenerative uptake in my left foot. My left ankle was the one I broke. Figures the cancer would sneak in there and take over.

Capecitabine is no longer working but I knew that. He says I can stop taking it because it isn’t working anymore.

He’s given me 2 choices. IV chemo. Which, he says is hard on the heart. I’d be given it once a week. Or Fulvestrant. 2 shots the first month, 1 each month there after. Mainly to hold off doing IV chemo for a bit. No idea for how long, and didn’t ask. Only catch to this one is it’s not covered by the cancer agency. We’ll see if my insurance will cover it. Could be expensive.

Even though I know the progression, and play out all possible scenarios in my head, it still really sucks when it becomes real. And it’s scarier than I could ever imagine. it’ll take me a few days to get used to this “new normal”.
