MO_Sugar Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 After a long wait, I finally got the results back from my biopsy! They have discovered that I now have a combination of small cell and non-small cell going on in my liver (and lymph node in neck). Non small cell "appears" to be poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. We will continue with the topotecan and see what happens from here!! Thanks for all your prayers and the love and concern that have been shown! I do so appreciate it. God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Mo: Well don't know what to say except keep on keeping on. Did the Dr say it was unusual to have both? I have seen several people on "board" who have more than one primary --of different types I guess. Maybe John can do some research and find if there is some "standard" or experimental treatment for this "combo." You seem to be strong, so that's what matters today.

Cindy RN Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Mo- I pray that you are given the strength to deal with this. I do believe you are one who will be able to use this to give others the inspiration to go on. Love Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Cheryl- Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Mo, I remember Sam had SCL and Large Cell, which no cancer is good, but at least it is a slower growing cancer. Just learn all you can about it, and ask lots of questions I will be praying for you. Keep us posted on the treatment. cyber-Hugs, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathy Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Dear Mo, When it rains it pours for you doesnt it? How about RFA, I wonder if you are a candidate for that procedure. I will be thinking of you and praying that the new chemo gets rid of ALL of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhutch1366 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Mo, Prayers that the Topetocan (sp?) covers all bases. At least the NSCLC is slower.. and it looks like you're getting on top of the SCLC...... Keep the faith, and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

bphyllis Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The one person mentioned rfa, which I think would be an excellent idea to look into. However, my experience with that procedure so far is to move quickly in trying to get set up for it. I kept waiting on the lung procedure because the internet says that the tumors have to be between 2 cm. and 3 cms. and I don't think that is correct. When the rfa surgeon looked at my CT he was like he could take care of any tumors he could see. It can be a lengthy process and you can continue to do chemo while you pursue it I just want people to be aware they need to consider it early on due to waiting lists, referral paperwork, finding appropriate doctors, etc. Good luck.

BeckyCW Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 MO Sugar, This is not a case of "two is better than one!" I'm sorry to hear about the new development. Just means you have more enemies to fight, but I know you'll rise to the demands. Here's hoping you find weapons that will fight them both, causing as little interruption to your busy life as possible. You're in my prayers, BeckyCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyS Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Mo - This is NOT the time to prove you're different! Geez, woman. Kick some butt with your chemo - don't forget mental imaging......imagine it melting away those bad cells as it's being pumped in to your body. Take care, Hugs and prayers, SandyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
