Some Growth

So, when I went to the Emergency Room I had a CT Scan. The fluid was confirmed but there was also something I was not expecting.

There was another growth. Yeah, that was definitely NOT what I wanted to hear. So, off to the doctor I go!!

Apparently, the chemo drugs I was receiving was not working for me. That was a little hard to hear because I was really wanting it to hear from the doctor that this was working and that I only have a few more treatments to go.

So, now what? My doctor set me up with a consultation with another doctor who may know something else to do for treatment. Is there another treatment for me?

In the interim, the doctor switched me to another cancer drug called Avastin. It will not have the same side effects as the chemo but there are some other side effects I have to watch out for. The main one is high blood pressure.

So, waiting to see the new doctor for my consultation. I wonder what that will bring?!
