Guess Who's Back? Back Again.

It was scan results and infusion day.  I would like this post to be about all the joy.  It will not be.  






I will start with the happy thoughts first:
  •  got a ride from L.
  • passed the Covid screenbladdering with 96.7
  • made it on time
  • not much wait time
  • took the secret passageway from treatment to doctor area
  • met a new nurse
  • met face-to-face with Dr. Cole
  • labs looking great
  • no abnormality observed in brain, pancreas, spleen, lungs, adrenals, kidneys, uterus, lymph nodes.  
  • no changes observed in spine or pelvic regions.  
  • blood clot in gonadal vein no longer identified
  • had a short infusion, as I only needed Zometa today

Now, for the not-so-happy thoughts:
  • new irregular legion seen in liver (1.6cm)
  • another new irregular legion hanging outside the liver in the peritoneal space (1.4cm)
  • small focus on enhancement having out in duodenal wall 



There it is.  Cancer is back.  Even if just a little bit and hasn't been much of a rest at all, the fight is raring up again.  




The plan is to try a cocktail of three drugs, which was just approved this year.  I don't know yet when it will begin....we must wait for the approval of the insurance.  








Here we go again...........
