I saw the Oncologist yesterday with the results from the CT scan done last Friday.
The scan showed that the liver mets have shrunk down from 3. something cm to 2. something cm in just a little less than a month and only one and a half rounds of chemo in that month!!! Wow!! NOT what I was expecting to hear at all. I really did expect the worst and was prepared for the worst.
However, there was not a crystal clear comparison of the bone mets from one scan to the next so, as far as I understand my Oncologist is going to have the images sent over to her location and have her radiologists read them to see if there are many or any changes in the bones. Hopefully not although I am still having a bit of pain. Pain that I can live with no problem, I just need for peace of mind that it is nothing to be alarmed about.
I had chemo again today. The Gemcytobean and Cisplatin continue. I have now completed round 6.
LD has gone up to 293 which make me panic since it is on the incline after such a wonderful decline. Does it mean much, I don't know but I do continue to worry.
I feel great now after chemo today. Last time I felt pretty crappy right after. Not so bad today so that is good.
I have come home to a happy boy playing with his new Matchbox car that Daddy bought him the other night. It was so nice to come home to his smile. Sure makes everything so much better :)
I am going to continue to keep the idea of doing as much as I can with my son. I should cancer or no cancer really get out and live.
We start Mommy and Tot swim lessons next Monday. We are so excited that my really really good friend and her son are going to join us in the same class!! What a bonus!
Those lessons are Monday and Wednesdays so that will keep us busy with something exciting those days.
Tuesdays I am going to try to make a point of going to Tumble time at the Y. I took Ethan there this past Tuesday and he loved it.
Kindermusik was another thing I really wanted to get Ethan into but I am carefully thinking that one over. We will try a class out to see if the price is worth it. Otherwise there is always story time at the library around the same time his class would be scheduled for.
I finally have a half decent/clean house once again. I have had a lot of energy to get laundry and cleaning done on my own. Ok well, with a little help. However, I no longer have the cleaning girl come in.
I did not expect to get better so fast and have full ability to do anything and everything that I was able to do before this cancer showed its ugly head once again. Its nice.
I am enjoying it all as much as I can. Every second that I feel good is such a blessing and I never forget that.
Well, off to figure out dinner. I do have the energy to cook but I feel a bit lazy. I am thinking of going out for Italian. If I can get Dave interested then I think we will go.
One thing after chemo, I always want to eat a lot (ok I am like that even when I don't have chemo but its a tad more so!!) and I for some reason crave greasy foods.
