I haven’t updated my health status for a while, for the simple reason that there is not much to report. I had a telephone appointment with the oncologist a few weeks ago. There wasn’t much to say on my part. I continue to feel very tired much of the time from lack of sleep and weakness caused by the medication. And I continue to feel nauseous from time to time with everything coming up about every week or 10 days. The Ondansetron quickly gets me over that, fortunately.
I have blood tests before every appointment to make sure that everything is in order and that I am tolerating the medication (Everolimus and Lenvatinib). The last blood test results were all good, so that I am continuing the medication at the same dose. I have a face to face appointment next week, but won’t know much more until after my next scans in about a month. From the point of view of quality of life it would be nice to reduce the medication, but I wouldn’t want to do that until after my next scans, the last ones being so positive.
