And so it goes....Still going.
It's been a couple of quiet weeks insofar as I do my
Erbitux infusion every Friday and take my magic pill every day and we're hopeful. According to my doctor, my labs look great since we adjusted the dosage and he thinks everything is going well......
Today is the first test of that hypothesis. I have my CT scans today to determine if the known tumors have changed (or at least stabilized). I hate these things. A small part of me almost doesn't want to know. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of me DOES want to know and, of course, the drug manufacturer DEFINITELY wants to know. I should have results early next week.
The
Erbitux rash, after seemingly abating, seems to have come back -- it's been terrible on my arms. The dry skin, though, is kind of psychotic. I actually feel like I am made of shark skin -- that hard, sharp scaling all over. By way of side effects, this is not as bad as it gets, but I must say I'm not really loving it, haha.
I'll try and check in when I get my results -- work has been rough the past few weeks so I've fallen a bit behind.
As always, thank you for all of the well wishes and support!
