I met with my oncologist this morning to go over my latest liver biopsy results. The purpose of the liver biopsy was 2-fold, one to make sure the new spots are cancerous and if so, if it’s a different type of cancer than the one I was originally diagnosed with. The results showed that it is cancerous and it is the same type of cancer. That means my body no longer responds to the drug I am on even though it did wonders for me the first three months.
What’s his next recommendation? Chemo as expected. I already voiced my hesitancy in my last visit. He was well aware of that so he talked through all the possible options and possibilities with me. Without going into all the details, chemo is the best logical next step.
However, I told him about all the alternative treatments I have been on since April and how well I have been feeling… he could already see that. I asked for another CT scan and MRI just to see if anything I have done so far made any difference. He agreed. He also ordered a blood biopsy just to be sure there is no other alternatives available.
CT Scan and MRI are scheduled next Thursday & Friday. Based on the results of those tests, we will make our decisions for the next step. Let’s pray for an improvement in the scans!
