The liver met is going to be treated with irinotecan starting on the 31st-after she returns from vacation. So I guess overall we had good news today.

blueeye Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hey, that's great news! My Mom gets a CT scan on Monday. Mom just finished round 3 of irinotecan--AKA camptosar/CPT-11--with cisplatin on day one (maybe the last one? we're afraid to say it's the last treatment but her onc had originally said 3 rounds). It caused diarrhea and stomach cramps. My advice is to stock up on the Immodium--Mom likes the chewable ones. If the diarrhea is severe, they can give something stronger but Mom wanted "NO MORE MEDICINE!" We also think it has caused the constant runny nose. No antihistimine has helped with that either...just lots of paper towels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowergirlie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I am so happy to hear things are going in the right direction. What could be better than a vacation on top of good news? I am sending positive thoughts that things will continue to go well. I love the photo of your mom. She has such a contagious and beautiful smile!
