Earlier this week I had a series of tests - CT Scans of my pelvis and chest, and a MUGA to test how well my heart was functioning.
The MUGA showed no problems with my heart. My oncologist had been concerned because the chemotherapy I was taking will eventually damage your heart. This hasn't happened.
The CT Scans of my chest show continued improvement of the tumors in my lungs. For example, one tumor that had been 4 mm had shrunk to 2 mm.
The CT Scan of my pelvis showed that the tumor in my pelvis has grown since May. Specifically, it has gone from 9 x 5.7 cm to 9 x 7.3 cm. This means it is 128% its previous size, an increase of 28%.
As a result, I am going to be starting chemotherapy with a new drug combination on Monday. I will have between six and eight treatments, one every three weeks.
