Another needle joins the gang!

These needles don't get any sodding easier!!! Still got another 7 Herceptin to go.... so another 21 weeks of the bastards!!

Oncology appointment this week was a bit of a downer :( because I'm in quite a bit of constant bone pain im being sent for more imaging and a bone scan, to double check for bone secondaries. Plus where it showed up before Christmas that my L3/4 vertebrae are osteoporotic & very thinned, they're starting me on a bone strengthening programme, back to drips every three weeks again, alongside the two injections. Just as I start feeling more normal getting back to being me again, boom my best mates Drip & curveball are back 😔. Plus my Vitamin D levels are at rock bottom. So I'm on daily calcium and vit D, still taking the heart meds, anticoags, and hormone tablets..... im beginning to rattle again!! All I can describe the calcium supplements like are chewing chalk!! Delightful!!

​ I have to have a full dental exam before I can start the drip bone strengthener to make sure any dental work has been done and healed now, as there's a high chance of my jaw disintegrating once I'm on treatment and then have to have work done! Thanks onc for that lovely bit of info!! Although she did also prescribe a holiday too... my body needs vit d & sunshine!!

My hands and shoulders are randomly bruising up, and across my chest my veins have become super superficial, looking like a spiders web! Another issue they're having to check up and keep an eye on! My neck veins are still cording and superficial clotting, all good fun eh! And someone told me Cancer was easy..... 😂
​
Plus some actual good news, I've lost 11.5kg in weight since oct/Nov time..... this girl is coming back!! 💪💪 still not feeling anything like what I used to mind, but least the weight dropping is something! And I can also get my curls into a tiny tiny ponytail!! Small things 😂

So another week until I'm back for my Herceptin injection..... the grind continues! And then the Cancer Research London 10km at the weekend! Xxx
