Good morning, dear friends. I had my half way done with chemo checkup last week, and the news was mixed. It looks like the chemo has not been working as well as we hoped. There has been some significant regrowth in the old neighborhood, my abdomen. The cancer has started to take over some of the real estate vacated by the January surgery.
Now, on the plus side, in February there looked to be some shifty eyed cells in the upper body, up to no good and trying to establish an outpost on the left chest wall. No evidence of that now, so either it was never there or the chemo took care of it.
No known organ involvement anywhere, lungs, heart, liver, and remaining organs all clean, per the CT scan.
So, mixed bag but we have a plan B. I am switching over to a more aggressive chemo regimen with a harsher pair of drugs. I am also going to every other week, instead of every third week. Yay- more perforations, but if it works I can deal.
Thanks to all for your ongoing purrs and good wishes. I am intent on beating this into submission.
