Some good news for this week! I was taken off of one of my chemo drugs that has been causing neuropathy that is spreading! My dosage of steroid has also been cut by 2/3. And best of all, no Nuelasta this week! If everything still looks good on my scan on July 12, these will continue AND I will switch to an oral chemo regimen every 3 weeks instead of two!! The CT scans have been to keep tabs on whether there has been any spreading of the cancer, so I might have an endoscopy to check what's up in my stomach. Another possibility: Immunotherapy! I was not considered a candidate last year when I was diagnosed, but due to ongoing research, it is may now be viable. Again, most of this is dependent upon what my scan looks like on July 12 and my bloodwork- please pray!
I am so excited to start a book club next week! It can be done outside and the discussion should be lively! I hope this will help with the chemo brain fog. I feel like I do a lot of staring into space, just trying to remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I am thoroughly enjoying the Loki tv show on Disney Plus. I have my own fan theory that the Time Variance Authority is being run by Kang the Conqueror, Ravonna Renslayer, and old King Loki. Richard E. Grant would nail that role. I've been a fan of his since the 90s. Supposedly, we'll get Kid Loki, too. I just hope they don't follow the Mighty Thor Journey into Mystery/Loki Agent of Asgard plot for him. His fate in the comics broke my heart. I even cried for him. Poor Kid Loki. All things Loki are my big distractions right now. There are only 6 episodes, though, so the show is halfway over! I might have to cry over that, too. Hahaha!
Thanks for your love and prayers!
