Hey everyone, thanks again for continuing to check in. My latest chemo has been rough with terrible side effects, mostly tummy issues, but I've also had a lot of trouble with headaches. I had to miss a treatment and my dose has been reduced to 60%, this is by far the hardest chemo I've ever had. Side effects aside, the good news is it seems to be working as my tumor marker fell a couple points last week. Hopefully we can figure out the right mix of dose/schedule and meds to counter the side effects and I'll get some mileage out of this drug.
I realized I didn't give an update on my last brain scan, which is basically fine, though one of the previously radiated lesions was a little bigger (could be scar tissue). Since I have been having so much trouble with headaches, they decided to give me another scan yesterday and it looked stable, so that's good news.
