Chemo again!

Heather went to the neuro surgeons today and he said her incision looked great and it was ok to start chemo. She then went to her oncologist and the CT results showed that two of the tumors in her right lung are the same size. They are her small ones. But she has one larger one that has always been the one to get bigger. It did get a little bigger. I expected that since she has not had chemo for a while now due to her hospitalization. As far as her liver, they could not compare if there are any changes from her PET scan 6 weeks ago as they are two different studies. But it did show increase in the tumors in the liver since her CT in october. We don't know about her bones since they just imaged her lungs and abdomen and pelvis. Good news is it still has not spread to her other organs around her liver. Her kindeys, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen and her bladder are all ok. YEAH!! She started her chemo today. She will get chemo next week again (but i think it might be a different type than today). THen she will get an injection that makes her bones really hurt. It is the worst part of the whole thing, it really knocks her down. The injection causes her bones to make more white blood cells since the chemo kills them all. She has extreme bone pain with it. So two weeks in a row of chemo with one week off then repeat it all again. Unfortunately that week she has off she will be recovering from that horrible shot. Not much of a break. Hopefully she will not get too sick and nauseated with this chemo. We will just have to wait and se since she has not had this kind before.
