Journal entry by Elizabeth "lisa" Prokay

My most recent scans were good, which makes me feel good! It seems like those 2 weeks leading up to my scans and seeing my Oncologist are torture. So, when I get good news, like my tumor marker has dropped, to me, it's like the death row inmate who gets that call from the Governor at the very last second saying he/she has been given a reprieve! LOL I continue to struggle with terrible fatigue and pain, but I truly believe that is mostly from my fibromyalgia. And if I'm being completely honest, nothing affects me more than how lonely and isolated I feel. I have no friends here in Ohio and so when my husband travels for work and I am left alone (sometimes for 2 weeks at a time) I really struggle. But, I am grateful to still be here. I have now been on Ibrance for 6 years! And according to my oncologist, that is exceptional! I continue to hope and pray that I'll get more years from this medication. I miss my daughter, and granddaughter, who are on the other side of the country.  And I am so over Covid, as I'm sure everyone is! 

Peace & Hope Always!
