It has been some time since I updated the blog.On October the 17th the Oncologist, Dr. C Stokoe, decided against the scheduled CHEMO as Gisela's kidneys were showing signs of " distress ".... ...She was given an fusion of IRON and medicine to help with the nausea. That was repeated another two times in the next week!
Then she had a CT Scan to check the Brain and the lower abdomen.
The ONLY good news was there was NO trace of Cancer in the Brain. However the "BAD NEWS" offset that.
The mesothelioma in her "Pleural Cavity" has GROWN! Her lymph nodes (in her chest ) have also become "activated". Her liver has three (3) spots on it and her Gall Bladder is extended---enlarged!
Tomorrow we go to Dr.David Park who has been our Gastroentilogist since we moved to Texas in 2002. Possibly the intense pain she has, which is CONSTANT, is caused by this "new" problem.
Gisela is so "upbeat" and although I do NOT have her physical pain the mental anguish is really getting me down.
