The bad news for the week is that I've come to conclusion that my treatment isn't working. My pain has really ramped up over the last week. It's in a couple of places but really bad around my liver area. I'm about 99% sure the drugs aren't working. Damned depressing. It was really bad this morning, but the narcotics help keep it down to a dullish ache.
I'm half tempted not to go back from my next treatment but I'll probably go and see it through. I need to talk with Dr D'Amato about what to do next anyway. There aren't a lot of choices left. I'll probably try to review the films from before and after the Ifosfamide to see if they can tell us anything. I could try more cycles of that. Other than that, it's trial land, and I'm really scared about the idea of waiting for more treatment. I told work today that there's a good chance that I'll go out on disability soon. Porbably after the scans.
