August Trip to CTCA

I must say.....I knew this trip was going to be a little different than in the past. A couple of events have occurred since July and this is where it all starts. My body has been feeling different than before which I've always been able to feel and definitely listen to. My doctor wanted a Pet scan done to see what if anything had changed as far as bone cancer growth and also to see if anything is abnormal in the liver, kidneys, heart, pancreas, adrenal glands lower abdomen and lungs. I did tell her something is different...I have more aches in my shoulders, not sleeping well, very fatigued, and just am not myself. I'm thinking because she is the best doctor EVER, she always listen to me, that she could tell something was wrong. So the Pet scan was done from the base of the skull to mid thigh. It showed there is multiple foci of increased metabolic activities involving the sternum, both ribs, thoracic spine, left scapula and both proximal humeri. The blood tests showed all cancer markers have increased. This is where my pain is coming from. With all that said the doctor request that I start on a chemotherapy again. I had 2 different affects from that request.....oh no, not another 6 months of feeling like someone ran over me and then my mind felt the reality and I knew this was going to help me with the quality and quantity of my life. My doctor is and always has been a step ahead of my feelings. It's so amazing how she does this....very compassionate lady!! She sends me to the infusion room for my first round of chemo. This drug is call doxorubicin liposomal Doxil. I added the link if your interested in looking into it more. 2 hours later I was done and headed to the airport to come back home. We walked in the house about 10:30 pm and I went straight to bed.
