Well what a looonnnggg day Thursday turned out to be. My appointment was bloodwork @ 9:30, doctor @ 10:45 and chemo @ 12:00. I always expect to be out on the times, they are never on time, but today was an exception even to that rule. I was not called in to see the doctor until 12:30 and then we waited almost 2 hours before she finally came in!!! Report is good, blood work is good, I am a little anemic, which didn't surprise me but not enough to be concerned about according to the doctor. She had the full results of the last CT scan and was thrilled to give them to me. I have 7 according to Dr. V back in September but we only talked about 4 today. The largest one which registered 4.4cm previously is now down to 3.5cm. The 3cm tumour is still the same and a third went from 2.7 to 2.3cm. There is a new tumour spotted but I wasn't too concerned about that as the original diagnosis was 7, that was not reported in the CT scan but according to Dr. V. Apparently, I have nodules in my lower lungs, which was news to me, first this has ever been mentioned but they are significantly reduced as well. The bone pain has increased from nothing to a bit more and I have an area in my lower rear that has started to flare up. Not a need for much in the way of pain meds yet. We discussed that today and I would be able to have a radiation treatment to the bone which would be only 1 or 2 days while on break from the chemo. Overall, the result is that the chemo is working.
I went in for my chemo at 3:30 and back out and on the way home by 5. I am tired tonight and think I will go have a nap. Once again thank you for your prayers.
Love n hugs
