Another pathway

With the failure of the trial/experimental drug I was moved onto another trial drug and yet again that had failed. A couple of weeks ago my Oncologist told me my liver cancers have grown quite significantly. I was distraught obvoiously, my Oncologist said she had been putting off interveinous chemotherapy until the very last option and now it has come to that. I have exhausted all other hormone drugs so there is really no other option. I knew deep inside about a year ago that I would have to go through chemo again. Just one of them intuition/had a feeling things you get :) 

I get my Infusaport put back in in the next few days and start chemo straight away. Fingers crossed!!! 

My friends and family were all very upset, naturally. They cried but I had a positive outlook on it; the cancers have not exploded in numbers or size, they are still slow growing and I explained how having different drugs is like trying on different lil' black dresses - I need to keep trying them on until one of them fit.

    Kylie I hope that this new chemo works for you. I've had Abraxane for my liver and bone tumours and all is well at the moment but my oncologist has advised that things will turn but we don't know when. It's living with that uncertainty that's the biggest drain. You have a very positive outlook. Enjoy each day for we don't know what tomorrow brings. Sue

    I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck with the chemo - being posiitve is always a good start. I know that's hard sometimes, but just keep on plugging away until the right button gets pushed.

    All my fingers and toes are crossed for you.
