Sorry it has been a while since I have updated this, but I am sure you are wondering how things are going, so here it is...
Since my last blog, I have had 2 CT scans and there has been no change in my tumors. This new drug is making it stable once again. This is great news! No growth and no change. It seems that every time I go for treatment it ends up being a difficult day though. Yesterday, was a long visit. I has a CT scan and a PET scan (like a MRI but they inject you with radio active dye because tumors absorb glucose and they can see if my tumors are active or not). The dye made me sick and when I went for my treatment, there was a mistake with the drug so I didn't get home until almost 11pm. It was really stressful. But I had a great friend with me who made it a little easier to deal with. I won't have to do anymore PET scans until I am finished with this drug now so that is good.
If you are reading this and wondering "gee I wish I could help somehow", I do have a couple of needs. I go every Wednesday for my infusion and I need people to go with me (usually because they make me really tired for the drive home). I also need somebody to help with the boys after school and sometimes before school on Wednesdays. So if you are interested please email me or call me.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support! It has been such a blessing to have so many caring people in my life!
