Michelle-guess it was the heels because it’s much better today. Didn’t see the onc today but got #19. And I lost 1 lb so woohoo-gotta celebrate the small things.

Tomorrow is #19 unless the onc wants to send me for scans. All of a sudden yesterday when I woke up my hip was painful when I walk. Doesn’t hurt otherwise. I’m thinking it’s overuse from walking or wearing heels 👠 for the first time in over a year on Monday. My fear is this is now in my bones. Tired of worrying about every ache.

Hi Opal. My doc says no. The nutritionist agrees that it does cause weight gain as everyone in the practice on it is complaining about gaining weight. Que sera sera

Sillycat-glad you’re doing well. My port gets wonky but at the last infusion a new older nurse said to turn and tilt my head away from the port. The line runs right up into the crease of my neck and she said probably gets a little kink in it. It worked! And to think nobody else thought of this and it’s been a problem almost every time.
Now if she has any wisdom about how to stop this weight gain I hope she shares. I eat like a bird and walk miles most nights and still it doesn’t matter. My major complaint about this Durva journey. #19 tomorrow. May 7th is the last and I cannot wait. Enjoy the Y-- Tomm, Rower Michelle, DFK and 1 other

Never had anything except dry skin until last night. It felt like pin pricks all over. Is this the “itch”? Took Benadryl - it helped but this morning still a little itchy.

CT results compared to a year ago-from 6.8x5.8 to 2.8x1.9cm. The 5mm found in Sept on left lung is now 2mm. Nothing new. I guess this expensive stuff is working. Happy Holidays!!!!

Follow up with the pulmonologist today. Said the pleuritis will probably come and go until I’m off the Imfinzi. Double up on the Aleve and keep moving, breath heavy and cough a lot to keep from getting pneumonia. No sitting around being a couch potato this winter. Told me I was boring, I said better boring than dead.

Well as I expect every November, sinus infection on top of all else. At least it’s not strep.

Hi fellow Durvas. I’m back on track with #14 yesterday after my little break. Forgot how crappy this stuff made me feel. Still have the aches and pains like pleuritis but not as bad. Back to the pulmonologist on Monday. Oncologist said keep going the way it is. Me and the PA both think some of this is radiation damage to muscles and nerves-now have a numb spot under my arm that was in the line of fire. Only 12 more to go so I’m now descending the mountain. Hey a year ago come 12/7 I didn’t think I would see thanksgiving but here I am.

Hi Tomm. For some reason my response to your post disappeared. I agree boring is good. The break was nice but I’m nervous to start over. I’ve forgotten how I felt and hope the next half of this isn’t worse. Glad you’re doing well. I need a 🍺
