Time for an update here... I went to one clinical trial doctor, and I would have had to gone on a waiting list for two months, etc, and the oncologist never called me after looking at my scans like he promised. I had heard back in the meantime from MD Anderson.
For anyone who knows anything about cancer, that is one- if not THE top cancer research/hospitals in the world. So, I've been going there. They told me that they can't cure me either, but they hope to put my body in remission, however, they feel that it will return back as my cancer marker (which is some blood test that I can't explain) is off the charts- it should be under 30 and my number is 1780.
Anyway, they have suggested 6 rounds of chemo, no radiation. I've gone through two- the last was last Wednesday. My hair is coming out, so I buzzed it off. It gives this really bad burning sensation and it's driving me crazy. That and my hormones- because they have been frying up my woman things I'm in a menopausal like stage, complete with hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, bloating, etc. They are giving me the neuplasta to prevent my blood counts to drop, so that's good. I've been trying to keep my blog updated, so if you want to keep up more, you can visit it there. I just hate bringing this back up, but I guess I should on occassion keep you guys updated. Oh, and I moved back with my parents so that they can help me with my son as necessary. So, it's great, we get more time together. He's currently enjoying opening my collection since I don't want to store it. He's got Dexter, Kit, Jango, Luminara, Obi-Wan (AOTC) all fighting a Geonisian Warrior... Oh, a Clone Trooper has just been added to the mix... And he sleeps with his Darth Mickey (thanks again Sharon) every night
This was last week... before my last chemo, I've lost more since then... and yes, I'm grimacing...
