Not great news. Chemo isn't working. The original area of concern seems to have responded, however there are new mutations and they are moving fast. This week has been scary. I had a scan last Friday night and Monday evening I was able to read the results in my health portal. Some text in that report said "this is concerning for disease progression". So then we were worried with no context for 2 days until my appointment on Wednesday that confirmed the chemo wasn't working. My case was presented to a bunch of doctors Friday morning and it looks like radiation and a new chemo combination is what they came to a consensus about. But, that's not set in stone. We will find out next week if the location can be safely treated via radiation. If not, straight to chemo. For now, all treatment will stop until radiation is set up which means I might have a couple of weeks of feeling better. So now we are discussing how we will spend that time. Obviously we want to take advant...
Life changed quickly when I found out I had a brain tumor on January 14th, 2011, and that that tumor was cancer on the 27th. This is the documentation of my life since cancer, the ups, downs, and in-betweens, and most importantly, finding One Less Thing To Worry About... every step, every day.
