RESULTS AND WHATS NEXT!

-

 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!

PORT REPOSITIONING & REPLACEMENT!

  Today I got to have my port moved from the left side to my right. We are hoping this helps with the chest discomfort I get every treatment. Also we weren't able to get blood return so every treatment I would have to get a blood draw and a poke in my port!  James took me and unfortunately the hospital policy changed this morning on the visitors not being allowed so he was not able to be in the room or the hospital! Was feeling ok when I got home but that changed after a few hours and now it is pretty sore. Here's to hoping I can work tomorrow!!

 Well yesterday I went in for treatment 15, didn't have the cramping this time!! But still have nausea but they gave me a different anti nausea med to see if that helps better. I have some amazing people in my life as James had to work so Teddy came to take me to treatment and then Kathie came and brought me home!! I was able to eat mac n cheese after I got home but didn't eat anything for dinner because I just wasn't hungry but it's like that the first few days!  Oh and they had candy there, couldn't help myself!! Thank you to all that come here to read the updates!!
