I have had my Acities dealt with last Thursday. Over 5.5 litres of fluid drained loosing over a stone in weight. I can breath easier and my mobility has improved and I feel better than I have in a long time. Just getting my appetite back and build up my strength .
I had clinic today which delivered more good news as my liver functions have all improved !!! Despite having Local Anesthetic, pain killers and anti sickness drugs when I had my Acities fluid drained and having a 24 hour vomiting bug. We agreed that my body has just had so much to deal with and is now starting to get back to normal.
This means I am going to give Capecitabine another go in 2 weeks time starting with lower dosage to see what the side effects are going to be like. The success of this will be measured by a having a CT Scan when I start and one more probably after 3 months like last time to look for reduction in the tumours. Also I will have blood tests every 3 weeks. My oncologist did reiterate that just because it worked a year ago doesn't always mean that it will work again and I assured her I understand that risk but I am going to combine this with the homeopathy drugs as well. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed...
I am seeing a light and normality at the end of the tunnel and feel I can even start thinking about escaping back to work xx.
Liking the light at the end of the tunnel. May it become brighter and brighter.
