CT Results Are In!

I picked up a copy of my CT results today and the verdict is mixed. The scans show that my tumors are exactly the same as they were on the January 28th, 2010 scan. So this means that the chemo has worked in regards to stopping it's growth. They were aggressive and now...not so much.

I am a bit disappointed (actually a lot) because of course, the hope is that those suckers would have been obliterated!! But they are not and so my life on chemo continues. Even if they were gone it would not have been over but the high would have certainly carried me through to the end of my treatment protocol. Now, I live with the fact that they are living inside of me happy to be there but not growing. See, I told you it was mixed news!

There are a lot of other things written in my report that I have never really understood. For example, my enlarged spleen (still there...and enlarged) and the lymph nodes along the retroperitonium (which should be not seen but are)...what all this means, I really don't know. Sure I've asked before but I've never been given a real good answer. Not one that I understand anyway!

My appointment is next with my oncologist on Thursday to officially be given the news (like I said, I picked up a copy of my report...I am a pro at this stuff now so I don't need to wait over a week to be given news...maybe not a great idea but hey! do you blame me??) and probably get some chemo in my veins...ugh!

That's all for now....
