…… well, ……..damn.
I had my 6 months past NED scans 4 weeks ago. Went in to the dr visit hoping they’d say that the blood clot the chemo caused in my lung was gone and I could stop the Xarelto. She came in and said, “let’s go over the good news first. You still have the blood clot. It’s not migrated or broken up, but it is shrinking so we will continue with the Xarelto.”
I thought, “damn.” Then, ……. “Wait, …. That was the good news?”
She said the ct scans show a hot spot on the liver, and another lower in the pelvic region. She was very troubled with this development, but very glad she caught it this quick. She needed to know more so I was going to get an MRI, with and without contrast, fast. Till they knew more, I wasn’t going to be considered in remission anymore. I got the MRI with only two week wait. That was last Friday, and today was the follow up visit.
I am no longer in remission. At this point, because of the spot on the liver, Dr said I’m considered stage 4. I will be seeing a different specialist, and will be getting radiation treatments soon, with the hopes of burning this out and hopefully killing it before it goes any further. The pelvic region spot is just going to have to get in line, the liver takes precedence.
So, yeah, ….. well, …….damn.
We all know I’ll beat this one just like the last one.
Still sucks though.
