kimblanchard Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hi All I need some heavy duty prayers from all you good prayers out there. I have seen you work miracles before and I need one now. I just finished 6 rounds of chemo yesterday, (12 treatments) of Irientecan & Taxol and next Wednesday I go for my CT scan. I have had a little over 50% shrinkage so far, according to my last scan a month and a half ago but that is not remission! I need remission, please God! I have a feeling I will need more chemo, thats okay, I can take it, but remission would be so much better. I am feeling pretty good after a month of not feeling so well, from mid May to mid June. I seem to have more energy now and don't feel so queasy. Of course with my worry disease I start thinking that maybe the chemo isn't working anymore! I just came back from doing a two day trade show for my busines that is very grueling and I did okay. Tired but not exhausted like I was after the last one in May. So far I have been really fortunate in that I have not needed any Procrit or other boosters because my blood counts have been fine and of course I haven't had to have any transfusions. I have not required hospitalization either yet for dehydration and for all this I am really grateful. So I have myself geared up in case I have to have more chemo at least I am in good shape to endure it. I won't get the results until next Friday morning so it will be two days of waiting and worry. Will post when I get the results Best Bess B Diagnosed 2/14/03 SCLC w/Mets to Liver 6 rounds Irinetecan & Taxol 50% shrinkage so far CT Scan 7/16/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
