Well went in today for test results and next chemo session. Test results did not come in happily. The current chemo that I have been on is not doing the job and has not affected the tumor. The tumor is still growing and is now strangling one of my bronchial tubes to the extent that the upper part of my right lung has collapsed. Sooooo, we cancelled the chemo and instead he had me change over to an immune therapy. Associated with this will be some radiation treatment on the tumor. I see the radiologist at noon tomorrow. Hopefully between these two therapies, it will help or at least slow down the tumor. It will take a lot longer than if the chemo had worked, but you just have to roll with the punches. I am not giving up yet, but I have to admit it did knock some of the wind out of my sails. At least my oncologist did say that the effects of the immune therapy shouldn't make me as sick as the chemo. I am grateful for that if it turns out to be true. Will keep you all informed as to how it goes.
