Once again, I've been neglecting my updates. I guess no news is good news. Let's pick up where I left off, I finished my round of radiation treatments. About the same time, a new ailment popped up. I woke up one morning with pain in my right wrist. About a week later my left wrist mirrored my right with pain. I procrastinated for about a month but finally made an appointment with an Orthopedic hand surgeon. Turns out I have Tendonitis and was given a shot of cortisone in each wrist. That was 2 days ago and I'm already feeling improvement. The Doctor said the shots should do the trick and I won't need any follow up.
Getting back to my cancer journey, I've started a new drug that Dr. Cohen says will enhance the job the Keytruda is doing. It's called Lenvima. I've been taking it for almost 3 weeks and am having some concerns about the side effects. I've reduced the dosage, so we'll see if things get better.
On a happier note, my hair has grown back. The weird thing is now it's curly.
