12 rounds done!  Yes, after 5 long months I finally finished chemo.  Post chemo I had a PET scan which showed something still might be on my liver; basically it lit up but not brightly so an MRI with contrast was scheduled to look at that spot more closely.  The good news?  It was just a scar tissue spot from my last surgery!  This means that currently I have no active cancer in my body detectable by scans.  The words “remission” and “cured” are not in
the Stage IV vocabulary.  This is because there are still likely cancer cells in my body but they are not detectable by scans.  So, every three months I will have scans and if something lights up will either have it removed surgically or return to chemo to try and shrink and kill the cells. 

Prayers are still appreciated because this is a long road ahead with lots of chemo and surgical side effects that I will deal with for a long time.

Tuesday-#2 infusion

Image
Tuesday was my second chemo infusion but it almost didn't happen.  My white blood cell count (WBC) had dropped from a 7 to 1.9 since the first infusion.  The decision was made to proceed with chemo but the followup with a Neulesta shot on Thursday to promote bone marrow growth.  The side effect-bone pain :(  Also, I have to become more of a hermit and avoid places with lots of people and exposure to germs.  Hard to do when I work with students and the public on a daily basis. Today I get unhooked from the chemo pump and then receive the shot.  Also, on Tuesday I experienced an allergic reaction to the chemo.  I became very sleepy but also trippy feeling, couldn't speak very well or had to concentrate on my words, and lost bladder control.  Now, I must take some pre meds before chemo and while wearing the pump to keep that from happening in the future.  So far no noticeable hair loss but found out it might take another couple weeks to show up...

This past week has been chemo #4.  Each chemo session is a new experience with new symptoms.  Frustratingly I still continue to have an allergic reaction during the infusion.  Even with trying new premeds and meds during the infusion, I still experience an out of body trippy feeling and inability to speak correctly.  I have a big appreciation for my chemo nurses who have to deal with people who are 100% sick every day.  This past chemo left me with over 24 hours of diahrrea, vomiting, and nausea.  Nothing stays in so tomorrow I will go back to the cancer center for IV fluids and hopefully stronger anti nausea meds since nothing seems to be effective.  The cats have been very happy to have me in bed today.  I had all four on the bed with me; I think they know if don't feel well.  Please continue to pray for overall healing but also specifically for healing for this current inability to eat or drink and get the nutrients I need.
