CT Results

Since my last chemo treatment, I've had a CT scan done of the brain, chest, and abdomen. That was followed up by a dr's visit on Monday of this week to get the results of said scan. The good news is that there is no new progression. On the "not-so-good" side there is some fluid in my lungs (both) again, and I am hoping that that won't mean another lung-draining session. For now though, everything is pretty stable for the most part, and I am still on track for chemo tomorrow.

Speaking of chemo, we (my doc) is adding a new drug to my treatment. It's called Avastin. From what I understand it is supposed to cut the blood flow to the tumors which will cause them to shrink. This new addition will add an additional hour to chemo therapy session the first time it is administered, then a half hour after that. I don't know how long it will take before we know if it did anything or not, but I am hopeful that it will do it's job. :)
