Just another hiccup1
These hiccups keep upetting me! Got the results of my CT scan today and feeling really flat about it. While it shows that the newer nodes have shrunk to about 1/2 the size (Yay) the pleural thicken...

Hi Joy, Xeloda was going alright nodes hadhhalved in size which was god, but tumour marker went up slightly which my onc thinks is due to the fluid in the chest cavity. I'm off it from now until I see the thoracic surgeon on 3rd February and then I suppose I will probaby go back on it. The fatigue is annoying and it's not really helped by this fluid either. Not sure what i will do about work as I am a kinder assistnat and I am cleaning a lot, lifting heavy stuff around the yard, sweeping etc. I really want to work because I am my own worst enemy when left to think and I need the money to pay for our health cover and medications. But at the same time, I just don't know how I feel about it all. I wish I could work from home.
Thanks for the info Joy. I will have a look at it now and see what they say. Always glad to find some info.
Thanks for your help. All the best with your treatment and hope everything goes well.
Take care.
