I really need to do better

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.  

I like ending with a positive note!  I thank God every day that I have come this far.  It hasn't always been easy, but my faith and my family make it better for sure.

I promise to do better updating you all!
