Recurrent metastatic cancer, that is behaving more like ovarian than my original cervical diagnosis. I have no ovaries, and never "had" ovarian cancer, but the aggressiveness, travelling beast that will not stay gone, is taking on identities of other types of the beast. I'm wondering if bipolar cancer is a better diagnosis?Adenocarcinoma is my beast, and it sucks.
My PET scan was this past Monday, 12/16, and I was naughty and got my results before the doctor. I had them Tuesday afternoon. If I told you otherwise, I lied to you, sorry.
I have a cystic mass that is cancerous on my L pelvic wall, and cancerous areas under my liver, near my colon, BUT not attached to either. Instead of throwing the kitchen sink, we are throwing the whole kitchen now. New chemo drugs, which are supposedly easier on me, rock ON! Woot! Gemzar and Carboplatin...
Will do three cycles, have a CT scan to check sizes, assessing, shrinkage / growth. Will then continue, or increase aggressiveness of treatment. I am also being referred to clinical program admission process at the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center. Sarah Cannon's stage name was Minnie Pearl. I'm thinking about procuring a straw hat with a tag? Nah, I'll go urban and get a ball cap and leave the stickers on, 'cause that is how I roll.
Chemo starts next Thursday, 12/26, then the following, 1/2, then a week off... Rinse and repeat...
Please pray for my children, my husband, and my family as we once again don our armor for battle and hope to understand; why me? why our family?.... Again.
This sucks, bigtime... but, I look the same, feel great, and have a fierce drive to kick this to the curb, yet again.
Thanks for your support, love, and prayers for a cure.
Be well, be honest, be kind, be amazing.
