July 30, 2009

Today was the day for a treatment plan and verdict meeting to discuss the therapy with new remedy. Eddie left to go back home. I officially have mucinous adenocarcinoma which seems to be located in my lungs and lymph nodes. It’s an aggressive chemo to get Melvi who is a rare form and unknown. I went ahead without any hesitation to get rid of her so she won’t own my life. I may be more tired and hurting but got more meds though to make it more tolerable. Meanwhile, he ordered a PET scan and Bone scan last week, these are special tests kind of like x-rays but they give me an IV of radioactive stuff in my veins which will show up any cancer cells. No cancer in my bones! Both test results came back with no new cancer anywhere else but it is still where it started and the lumps are getting smaller and softer! Whew! By the time I saw the cancer doctor again, he had a chance to review all the blood tests and urine tests. Everything is normal in blood, urine and no spreading of the cancer. So the cancer has not metastasized. Keep the prayers coming.

The second round of Chemo he added a drug which is an antibody to protect me from catching anything and that will make the Chemo work better and keep me from getting "immune suppressed' like a cold, pneumonia, etc.
