Just an update

I know I've posted a lot of national stories lately and haven't really put the focus on me. So since I have a little bit of free time, here we go.

Last week was not a good week. I received chemotherapy again and complained to my oncologist about a pain in my stomach. High on my stomach (near my diaphram) was a hard section of muscle or tissue. If I coughed, I doubled over in pain.
My doctor gave me Perkoset, which is a younger cousin of Vicatin (which makes me throw up). After one day, I was feeling no pain, but I was feeling major nausea. So I requested to go back to Tylenol with Codeine. The Tylenol mixed with a little Icy-Hot and I'm good.
But I did have a CT scan on Friday, so we'll see sometime this week of what's going on in my tummy.
But last week really affected my work. On Wednesday, I only worked one hour and I couldn't make it to work on Friday at all.
But today, I'm doing all right. There's a little pain in my back, but I'm doing good.

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.
