No good news over the last two weeks. I am not sure whats is going to beat me first, the cancer or the financial struggles trying to continue this battle.
On january 14th had a ct scan of chest and abdomen. On the Jan 15th met with the doctors. They told me that there are more tumors in my liver and some had grown. There is a dying tumor that is pressing up against an artery next to my heart. Some lymph nodes have also grown. This means I no longer quilify for the clinical trial since it is no longer working. They decided to have a MRI done of my brain since I am experiencing lots of oain in my head. They decided to give me one more treatment if the trial until they can figure out what to do. On Jan 21 I had the MRI of my brain. went back to the doctor o. The 22nd and the first thing they said “ we are very sirry but they found two tomors on your brain”. They are small but this now elevated my case to a very soecialized department that deals with cancer in the body and the brain. They explained that the brain blocks most cancer drugs that work on the rest of the body so they have to find a solution that will work for all of the tumors. There are now 5 specialists discussing my case to come up with a game plan to extend my life. I go back on Jan 29 to meet with various specialists to find out what theur recommendation will be. It might be a combination of treatments. They said the treatments will start two to three weeks after the meeting. Of course I will have to sign new consent forms for them to try a new treatment. I am not sure what us going to beat me first, the cancer or the financial part of battling my cancer. Any donations help to make sure that I can keep going to MD Anderson for trial treatments. Hopefully my struggles will help other people in the future. Gid Bless.
