I am sorry I have not been keeping up on this very well!! The last 2 chemo treatments went well. I usually don't sleep the day of hook up because of the steroids they give me, so that is a hard night and I usually work the next day and that can be pretty tiring! But I am a badass bitch and will get through this no matter what!! I recently had my latest CT scan done on the 22 of December and just talked to the oncologist today and he said everything has gotten smaller and nothing new has popped up so that is great news and I will continue with the treatment we are currently doing. When I go next week I will ask him what the plan of attack is. Are we trying to get me to surgery again or not will be the question I am asking. Again I apologize to anyone who is regularly on here checking for updates. I have been slacking the last few treatments! James and I had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas. He spoiled me rotten and got me everything I asked for and more! H...
Results of the CT scan: no signs of active cancer which is awesome news however after the liver ablation surgery the Dr said there was some cancer still left around an artery. We were a little confused about what was actually left if any. The Dr told us 2 things they could possibly do... 1 is just wait 3 months and do another scan or 2 do some radiation and a chemo pill for 5 and a half weeks assuming the cancer is there. After the Drs talked it over they have decided to do a PET SCAN and that will be done August 20th at UChicago Medicine. Until next time, be safe happy and healthy!
Today we had to go to the hospital for my port procedure. Which I thought was just them pulling the tubing down but that is not what happened. They replaced and repositioned the port so now it is a little higher and the tubing goes into the jugular in my neck. I was told no lifting with my left arm so it doesn’t mess with the placement which means no work then for 4 days. Not too happy about that but what are you gonna do? Right now I’m in pain hoping it subsides soon. With this repositioning I sure hope it helps with the chest pain and tightness I’ve been having after my previous treatments. I will find out this coming week so fingers crossed. Until next time!
Adorable!!!
