Re: its back
Hi All
Friday was treatment and pet scan results. Overall, scan results were positive. 2 liver tumors are gone (i do have a tiny new one but that probably popped up while waiting to start chemo after spine surgery). Large liver tumor is stable. Lymph, lung and spine tumors have gotten smaller. The only question areas are bones (femur and pelvis) - those are lighting up like crazy but most likely because of the Zaxio shots that encourage marrow growth. So we wont really know until shots are done.
I will see the radiologist on the 24th. Spine surgeon suggested rads to my spine because entire tumor couldnt be removed. Oncologist also said there are other options for my liver tumor should traditional chemo not do the trick.
I see the throat doctor on the 26th. It would be great to be able to talk more normally! Especially since I am in outside sales and usually talk on the phone a lot.
This chemo cycle seemed a little more tolerable. So maybe I am trending in a positive way!
