I skipped a few days there. July 10th I had chemo again and honestly, I just didn't take time to write yesterday. Chemo 3
Since I was disoriented two days last week from the Advan (spelling ?), Wednesday and Thursday, Friday wasn't much better, I decided to skip the stuff yesterday. The chemo treatment isn't as long as the Throat cancer chemo nor as hard-hitting, so I figured I'd see if I could omit it. I asked the nurse if I could request it as the treatment went on if I wanted it and she said I could since the Pharmacy already sent it up. This was a game-changer for me as I kept alert and mentally focused, that dazed and confused not only left if never appeared.
Now, back to today. I had an appointment with the Neuro doctor today. They have a very nice staff and I liked them all. He wanted the CD from UT so that was the first thing to gather up, off to UT we went. We got the CD and print out of the doctor's notes that read it. When we went we took the CD to the doctor who viewed the images. He said he wasn't for sure but he does not believe they are cancer. He will review along with a team to see and if they aren't 100% sure then they will use the Gamma Knife to remove them, notice I said them. He spotted a second one. He also spotted where I have had several TMIs.
Once they start the process where they get in they will remove anything that appears to be trouble or possibly is cancer, then they can look at it closer. I am all for it, better safe than sorry. If these places are not cancer then it will truly be a miracle.
