Hi Kris,
Thats good news that the tumour hasn’t grown any and fingers crossed that the new meds will help deal with the fluid issue. Stress….grrrrr……
Hugs,
Gavin
I would call this a good news bad news day! Now what am I going to do on April 4th???? Just kidding. I think the news that everything is stable beats everything else at least if you have to wait again. Look at that! All that stress for what???
New road block:
A radiologist looked at the scan yesterday or this morning and said no to surgery. I still have too much fluid in my lungs from the pneumonia after embolization. So it’s back to my primary care dr. to get more meds and have tests done. Then I get to start waiting again. Surgeon says about 2 months.
I might go back on chemo. Not sure. I’m waiting to hear from Dr. Kemeny about it.
The good news is that the tumor hasn’t grown.Kris
You have successfully crossed another road block and it’s “all systems go” for surgery on the 4th – well done. Know that positive thoughts are coming your way from across the pond.Gerry
PS : I have a few scars myself a tattoo could sort out – l’m loving that idea.
Lainy:
I guess I’ve been lucky so far: my throat hasn’t bothered me when I’ve finished all these surgeries and procedures.Hang tough, Kris! You are a true Hero! I would give my ‘stuff’ up for research also but I think it only fair if, because of you they find a cure for CC, they name the cure “A Dosage of Kris”! Are you going to ask for an epideral? And don’t forget to ask for a bottle of Chloraseptic Spray for your throat. It really helps. Thiking of you every day.
The scan showed the liver has grown a bit, so my surgeon is happy. I still have some fluid in my right lung from the probable pneumonia after my embolization. So he says “COUGH!! COUGH!!”
The tumor is still wrapped a bit around the vena cava which concerns me but he seems optimistic so… (biting nails) he also said if he can’t remove it he’ll do an oblation.
But it seems I’m to have another huge scar. He previously told me he would follow the existing scar. But now he’s just gonna cut diagonally across my right abdomen so he can get to the liver better. I’m going to have one heck of a roadmap on my belly when this is thru. I’ll have to come up with an interesting tattoo!!
I’ve signed up to let them use my cells and blood work for research when they are done with them. It just makes sense to me. The more cc tumors for research the better, right? Besides, they would just throw them away so they might as well use them for a good cause.
They will strip the cells of any of my information so I will never know what research was done with them and what the outcome was. But if it helps someone else, I’m all for it.Surgery is still on for the 4th.Hi Kris,
I’ve just seen your post from last night about your scan today. I so hope that it goes well today and that you get the news that you are hoping for. Fingers crossed and positive thoughts coming your way. Please let us know how it all goes.
Hugs,
Gavin
