kimblanchard Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Well I got the results of my CT Scan today, following my two month Chemo Break. The news was really what was expected...the tumors have again started to grow. I did not even ask "How Much". My cough has worsened and I tire much easier now. But...we begin the battle anew next Tuesday with Cisplatin and Camptosar. Hoping that some success is realized. also hoping that I tolerate it as well as I have in the past. I have really been lucky and experienced very few problems associated with Chemo. Arming again for battle..... jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
