Personal update

Well, I got a call from Dr. Wang (my oncologist) this morning - he had the results of my CAT scan.
Basically, the cancer spots in my liver have not reacted to my current chemotherapy treatment. They have not shrunk, nor have they increased in size or number.
So I will continue to do chemo, but with different drugs. I will no longer have the nerve sensations (where my body and throat react to cold drinks and food), but I will have more stomach symptoms, such as nausea and diarrhea.
I will have another update next Tuesday.

I talked with my oncologist and since the spots in my liver have actually grown, I'm on a different drug. I like this new drug, since I can drink cold drinks right after my treatment. Aside from a bad Benedryl day, I've had good energy and am doing pretty good. Don't look for me doing handstands, but I'm getting around.
Thanks for asking. :)
