The latest CT scan on the 7th wasn’t encouraging; the cancer is growing. Even so, Dr. Pederson is prescribing immunotherapy which will begin this Friday, the 14th. I asked if we could wait until January, after all the holidays, to begin and the oncologist said that if we wait 3 months, I would be feeling sick. So I guess it is growing fast.
This particular cancer, secondary small-cell carcinoma of the liver, often occurs in cases of colon and rectal cancers, so I am not special. There is no cure, only management.
There will be no more chemo. Surgery? Sloan-Kettering offers surgery, but it is rather cutting edge from what I can gather. Immunotherapy it is, and I get to keep my hair.
In other news, I finished the skull socks for Sweetie and they fit! Maybe a little loose but better than too tight. And I have begun another pair for him because why not?
I need to make 7 more snowflake blocks, out of 34. I knit a quickie scarf: cast on 200 st. and knit. Cut yarn. Change yarn and knit back. Rinse and repeat.
