Update-good news!

Today I have "good" news to share!  I still have 4 rounds of chemo left but today is my last day with the oxaliplatin.  The oxaliplatin causes cold senstivity in my hands, feet, and mouth, as well as neuropathy, auditory hypersensitivity, and overall allergic reaction.  For the final 4 rounds I won't have oxaliplatin in my chemo lineup! Also, the oncology team at Huntsman in Salt Lake City reviewed my case at their tumor board meeting and determined based on the scan that the interventional radiologist most likely did get the majority or all of the cancer lesion in the dome of my liver.  So most likely no surgery unless something new shows up on a scan. Right now the plan is another scan after chemo is finished and then monitor with scans every 10-12 weeks and as soon as something pops up to treat surgically if possible. Please continue to pray that nothing lights up on any scans especially in the lymph nodes since that indicates that cancer is not treatable anym
