Good news first, the original spots in my lung and liver are stable. That means no major change. Stable is good. The bad news is that they saw several new small spots in my liver. My oncologist wants me to go to a radiologist and see if they think that I am a candidate for a directed or targeted radiaton to go along with chemo treatments. It is a fairly new form of treatment, but they have been seeing good results with colon cancer. They go in thru a vein and deposit a small amount of radioactive material into my liver and do a very localized radiaton treatment. Hopefully that means no burnt skin and less symptoms. I've been told that radiation in general doesn't have as nasty of side effects as chemo. *fingers crossed* We will know more when I meet with the radiologist at the Huntsman Center in SLC just before Memorial day.
God has a hand in all things. I have been told to trust my doctors, that they will be guided to the best option for me. Radiaton kind of scares me, but with God all things are possible. So I will trust in him and try not to take council of my fears.
Each new day is a blessing. And I plan on having many more. For I have plans for tomorrow.
Good night and God bless you all for your prayers, support and encouragement. Thank you.
Karen
