1/2 way mark results are in! The chemo is working! The two tumors in my pelvic area are getting smaller, thank goodness! I have two tumors in my pelvic area and they are both shrinking from the chemo combination I am currently on. According to the CT scan my hydronephrosis is cleared up so theoretically they should be able to get a stent through my ureter on the next attempt. The lymph nodes which were enlarged in my pelvic area are also getting smaller. I had two lymph nodes on my aorta which are also enlarged. The significant one was previously 8 or 9mm, it is shrinking and is currently 7mm. I asked my nurse and she indicated they should be 2mm or smaller. There is also now some fluid on my heart that we are going to monitor. I am suppose to watch my heart and notify them of any new shortness of breath, fluttering, or chest pains.
The best thing to know here is the chemo is being effective! Next scan will be in September and we will discuss further treatment plans at that point. I may update this post in more detail when I have the CT results in front of me.
