Have had a hard time with my blog the last two or three weeks. Finally called my friend to come help me figure out what I was doing wrong. She came over and had it fixed within two minutes. Thank you Christa!!!!
So much has happened! Have been going to Boston every other week to to continue with my infusions. Also, saw a lung specialist to talk about continuing with my treatments as my tumor hasn't really shrunk much in size. Had three different breathing tests to see if I would qualify for lung surgery. I passed.
What I need now is a pet scan to see if my melanoma has returned to my brain or any other parts of my body. This will determine on whether to continue with the clinical trial, go with radiation (radiation would only take 70% of my tumor or I could have the lung surgery and get rid of the tumor altogether. Taking out two thirds of my upper left lung is kinda scary.
Back to Boston tomorrow and will have to spend the night as I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on Friday to determine how bad my adrenal glad is. My sister Becky will drive me down and spend the two days with me. I continue to take four prednisone pills a day to help cortisol a hormone naturally made by my adrenal gland. Will go through a series of tests to see how bad my adrenal gland is.
Cancer certainly has been a battle for me but I continue to remain strong and fight back. I have so much to live for....
Will give you an update at the beginning of next week... So glad I have figured out my computer.
