The One With More Side Effects & Anxious Waiting

Hi all! I wanted to check in before my scans on Monday. I am happy to report that my nausea/vomiting/acid reflux is now under control! It is such a relief to not be hugging a toilet. I had a wonderful 9 days where I had so much energy and was working on projects around the house. I felt better than I had in months! Before I get to the bad, let me share a pic of me with my boys. ❤️

Then I began to get sores/blisters on my foot, then my hands, then my mouth. Yes, this is a side effect, no it doesn't feel good. I used the cream and tried everything. They kept multiplying and then it started on my Regina. So as I type I cannot wear my prosthetic nor can I put very much weight on my left foot. My oncologist decided to stop the chemo pill until the sores resolved. I see her next week for my appointment before my infusion so will probably get the ok to restart it then.

This medication has not been kind to me. I have tried to push through because she wanted me on this drug for 60 days before she did scans. I toughed it out and made it to Day 57. Eh, close enough!

Gross right?! The pain is excruciating. I cannot wait for these to be resolved! I want to update you on the Sarcoma Scholarship foundation I am looking to start. So far I have not been able to get hooked up with an attorney. Maybe I just need an accountant to help me with the paperwork. If anyone knows an accountant, please let me know.

I am anxious about my upcoming scans on Monday. I desperately want good news because I feel like it's been a while since I received any. So I ask that everyone pray or do whatever you do to bring a miracle my way. Not for me, but for my boys. So scans Monday, results and infusion Tuesday. So look for my next blog post!

Until then!

Love, Cort
