Just as I had planned, my CT scan showed that my lung cancer has remained stable. I never doubted it. I've been having a lot of pain on my left side so I asked them to look closely for a broken rib or something that could be causing this pain. It appears that the lining to my lung (the pleura) is being irritated by my lung cancer and there isn't much we can do about it. I'm ok with that. It's always the unknown that I don't like.
Chemo went well, I got a vitamin B-12 shot for more energy (I get one every 9 weeks with this type of chemo) and I'm just a little extra tired tonight but that's nothing unusual.
3 more weeks until I need to go back to the doctor's office (unless the fever comes back). I'm feeling positive about this kind of chemo. Very few side effects and it's keeping everything stable, and making my brain tumors better. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
Love you more,
Big Dreamer Dor
