Mom had another scan yesterday and ended up in the hospital – 2 pulmonary emboli were found on her lung so they are working on dissolving them and checking for any more. As far as the scan – it appears that the chemo treatments have been controlling all of the tumors except the ones on the liver. So they need to rethink their approach and try to come up with a cocktail to attack the liver tumors. Does anyone have any experience with a situation like this? Thanks, Curt
Mom had her CT Scan earlier this month and it had good news and bad news. The good news was that the chemo had shrunk the spots on the lymph nodes (that was news to me – i didnt even know there were any on the lymph nodes); but the spots on the liver have slightly increased in size. Therefore, they have begun a new regimen of chemo. The chemo consists of a 5 hour treatment with 5FU and Oxaliplatin and then she goes home with a fanny pack and pump and receives 2 more days of the 5FU. She went through her first treatment of this a week and a half ago. She seemed to handle it pretty well; but did get sick for a couple days earlier this week – the Doctors don’t think it was tied to the chemo treatment though.
Thank you for all your responses to my original email. It is greatly appreciated by myself and my family.
