Wow, wow, wow, Robyn – it sounds good. I’ve got everything crossed for your mum’s continued improvement.
That is amazing tumor shrinkage! Very good.
We haven’t been at this long enough with my mom to know if going off chemo is a normal thing. Best of luck on her path forward!
It’s been a while since I’ve written, but I read posts whenever I can. My mom was diagnosed with inoperable CC a year ago this month. She started with a 12cm intrahepatic tumor and now she’s down to about 4cm. She went for her 3mo checkup and I THINK we got good news. Her scan showed no change in the tumor this time, but the part of the liver that has the tumor is shrinking up and dying. The good news is, the other half of her liver is regenerating, and is healthy and tumor free. Her oncologist at MD Anderson said he didn’t really know what to make of this since she’s been on chemo for a year. He took her off chemo untill Dec. to see what her liver will do without the added stress. Has anyone had any experience with this?
