You are the very definition of a cancer warrior. I am not talking about kicking cancer kind of warrior, but the ability to go on living to the best of your ability in spite of it kind of bravery.
There are other combinations of drugs that your doctor may choose, to hopefully give you less trouble. I don’t think you are complaining, if you can’t talk about the hard things here, then where? Because Oh my goodness the hiccups! I have that too, I have been living with them long enough to learn how to make them go away but they are certainly distracting. Lol. I also have to care for my bowels daily with Mira lax every night or pay the consequences.
I hope you are finding time to cherish yourself a bit, be gentle with yourself, you are going through a lot. I remember feeling like I had to do everything, like I could outrun it, but I kind of wish I had slowed down a bit and enjoyed my journey a bit more during that time.
Please come back and let me know how you are doing, I think about you often. When is your MRI?

Oh thank you for your kind words. I have a thoracic MRI on the 10th and a Lumbar MRI on the 11th. It has already been established that my cancer has spread to these areas ( spine, left & right ribs, sternum and iliac) but there are new consistent pains and my doctor is concerned. So at least he will have the results when I go back to him on the 12th. No matter the results, I’m going home to Kentucky to see my new grandson, and my Mother. Family is everything to me and that gives me needed motivation ☺️
