Good morningšĀ I havenāt been on in a while so I thought I would say hello!! As far as an update, not much new just the usual. Tired, nauseas, body aches etc. Iām still on the same chemo regimen Iāve been on since July getting it every other Monday plus my trial meds everyday. Although my tumor markers are the highest they have ever been, we are staying the course as of now. I meet with my doctor next week and…

Good morningĀ šĀ Here is my update for the moment! So yesterday I had a scan to just see how things are going. I had prepared mentally for the absolute worst as Iāve become pretty regular to bad news. It was a long day with my first appt at 8am for the scan then Dr. Appt. At 10:20 to discuss results and pending on those results chemo after. So according to the doctor my scan showed all of my tumors have grown…
HellošĀ popping on Facebook for a little week update and I suppose a side journal entry of the madness and emotion going on in my head..could be lengthy (sorry in advance) First I want to say a huge Thank you to everyone who donated, planned and took the time to attend the adult prom last weekend. I was completely blown away from the generosity and love that was expressed at the event.ā¤Those events are very awkward for me. Iām sure it…
Hello! Today was treatment day. I had an appointment with my IU oncologist to discuss my treatment. He decided to lower the dosage once again so now at a total reduction of 40%. He is hoping by reducing again I can tolerate it better. He said that if I donāt we are going to have to switch plans. He also decided to move up my scans and I will have them sometime the end of next week. As of now…

Good evening/morning! My insomnia has the best of me at the moment. So thought I would stop in for a quick updateā¦ So since my last post itās been a slow recovery. For some reason my 1st treatment back on chemo with the trial drug really knocked me down. I was scheduled for treatment again this past Monday. I was still feeling not so good and had decided to have a long talk with my trial nurse about my weeks…
Hey guys itās been a while so I thought I would stop and give you all an update. As I may have mentioned before, I started a clinical trial drug last week. Before I started I got a CT scan just so we could have a clear base to see exact changes when I get scans around the end of August. Whatās crazy is that there was only around 3 weeks since the scan before and my most recent scan…
Hey friends hereās the latest.. I met with my IU oncologist on Tuesday to go over whatās next. The plan is for me to go back on a chemo formulation Iāve been on before along with a clinical trial drug. That drug is supposed to make my tumors more sensitive to the chemo. All of this will start July 10th and I will have to have all treatments at IU. The trial drug is a pill I will take 3…
