After last week’s MRI, I had a telemedicine appointment with my medical oncologist. She asked if I was okay going off the chemo. You betcha I am. Three stable MRIs and 6 months of chemo showed no growth or changes to Rudy, my tumor. I’ll repeat MRIs every two to three months for check-ups.
Good news, but Rudy is still looming there in the shadows. I’m not in remission or cancer-free, but I am stable. The chemo takes so much out of you. The worst for me was that the after-effects were lasting longer, like 2 weeks. The fatigue and constipation were the worst.
I was cleaning up a small mess in the bathroom on Friday and wrenched my back again. It’s muscular pain, and it hurts like heck. I got scolded by my wife, saying I should have waited for her to clean up. She already does so much for me that I didn’t want to add to her plate. I should have listened; the pain is terrible but only when up and moving around. Nothing like the fractures, thankfully. Good days and bad.
Thank you for stopping by!
