And still am, but learning to cope. Just thought I'd give a little update. I made it thru the first round of chemo (four day long sessions once a week) with little or no problems, cept of course my new hairdo. I'm now halfway thru the second round, then we do a CT scan to see if any of the tumors have shrunk. This is the part that scares me now.
If they haven't shrunk, arrested growth, or gotten bigger, my ONC says we'll try a different combination of chemo, then there are clinical trials if that doesn't work.
Three opinions later have all said the same thing, because of the mets to the liver, adrenal, and lymph nodes I am not a candidate for surgery. Sometimes the whole thing is hard to believe, as I have absolutely no cancer symptoms at all. I've lost about 10 pounds, and have the occasional "chemo crash" energy wise, but that's about it. I'll keep you posted, and God bless all of you .
