^ Thank you both.

Yes, lmp, I believe they said there can be joint and bone pain with the aromatase inhibitors. Knock on wood, I haven’t really had that. I did have a headache and issues for a little over 24 hrs with the reclast.

#1HF Thanks for that information. I read some testimonials on her IG. Interesting and reassuring. I hope I don’t have hair loss now that mine is growing back in again. I’m sorry you have some, but glad it’s not noticeable to others. It is hard seeing it in the drain, though, I’m sure.

@luvmarypoppins How are you doing? Hope everyone else is well. GAGWTA!

Update, five weeks since last post.

I went through and finished radiation. Good experience once I got to the place where I got the second opinion. Staff were great. Of course, I’m exhausted, and I have a few burns and blisters here and there that are annoying, but overall feeling better and glad that’s behind me.

Next up I start on that CDK 4/6 inhibitor. My radiation oncologist told me that everyone in cancer care is very excited about the study results that are coming out about how well these are working in conjunction with the aromatase inhibitors, so that is good to hear. Just praying the side effects aren’t horrible.

Had some other testing done as follow up to when I was in the hospital and one scan in the middle of the night showed some funky things, but thankfully, all were normal.

My appointment schedule is pretty full into next year already. Hard to believe but this all started for me last January, so as of next month it will be a full 12 months that I’ve been dealing with this round of BC.

Wishing everyone a nice Thanksgiving. I feel like I have so much to be grateful for.
