Update from last week!
Saw the surgeon this week, will have port moved over to the side away from skin mets on Monday. Saw the oncologist today. Fluid from right lung did contain cancer cells but he said not a lot. He checked my lungs and did hear fluid back in the right lining so went for chest x-ray. My caugh is back so probably will have to have fluid drained before surgery on Monday. As soon as port is moved I will go to oncology and have Doxil treatment on Monday so another busy day. We did decide to continue with Doxil as we think we are seeing some small changes in the mets. Wishing every one a great weekend. hugs, Sandy
