My doctor's appointment.
My doctor’s appointment this went as well as could be expected. Nothing the doctor had to say was shocking or really even all that surprising. As we had pretty much already figured out, the chemo treatments aren’t working anymore, and at this point all the symptoms I am experiencing are due to the cancer and tumor growth. It seems that my cancer is growing at a relatively slow, but steady rate and will continue to do so without further treatment. There are a few second tier type treatments that may be able to buy me some more time, or help with some of my symptoms, and I am in the process now of researching some of these and trying to weigh the pro and cons of each to see if I feel they are right for me. I think that I am only iterested in something that is going to improve my standard of living above what is has been the last month or so, I am not interested in more time, just so I can sit there and contemplate the fact that I am sick. I’ll see the doctor again in a couple of weeks and at that point we may decide where to go next.
