Had chemo today and got my CT scan results: Not surprised that there was growth in lungs due to the months I was not given chemo due to brain tumor. Cancer got the upper hand then. The report makes note of 2 spots that both increased in size:
one was 5X8 mm and is now 7X10 mm and the other one increased from 4X4 mm to 13X17 mm.
My new treatment plan will be 2 weeks on chemo, followed by 1 week off. This is due to the fact I have never been able to get 3 treatments in anyway previously. A little adjustment is being made. I think in the long run I will be receiving more chemo.
I can't remember exactly how long she said it will be for the next CT scans. Too much input today. She also gave me a return back to work note for next Monday.
She did prescribe me ibuprofen 600 mg. for my shoulder/back that has been causing me daily problems. I don't believe I am doing this but I have an appt. with chiropractor tomorrow a.m. Am just grasping for some comfort. Like I said before, cancer (so far) I can deal with but shoulder/back I can't.

Jane: I just left the adoration chapel which was full of women tonight, so I made a plea for all to say a pray for you and if any could to keep praying daily. When I left 2 of women who are friends with Auntie Betty, so they would start praying for you immediately. The women in our parish are a wonderful bunch of ladies. Love Ya Tons and Hang In There Better Days Are Ahead.

Jane,
We'll all keep praying for even more improvement now that you are getting back on a regular chemo schedule. Hope you find some relief from the pain at the chiro. I am so happy you can return to work. You have such a great support group there. I think it will be so good for you! Hang in there, friend! Ann
