Hello again! I am back for an update because a lot has been happening here. I had my 1 year follow-up- which doesn't seem possible! I have started to feel much better over the past week or so. My energy and appetite are really coming back! I am set up to see a bone specialist,  and I am eager to know if there is anything else I can do to protect my bones from these maintenance drugs. My oncologist has added another medication that was just recently released for those with "high risk" cancer. A previous version of the drug apparently has been greatly beneficial to those with stage 4 cancer. My doctor is very excited about the drug and was hopeful that I would agree to the regimen.  I did agree since I am willing to do most anything I can to stay cancer-free. I am a bit worried though that starting a new med might bring on more side effects just as I have started to feel better.  I have to take this medication 2x a day for 2 years. It costs $3500 per week!!! I am guaranteed free medication from the company for my first year. After that we will see what the options are. Anyway, I am overall excited about continued improvement.  I took my first dose this morning- so far so good! 🤞
