Time for another update.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><!--more--><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">I had my doctor appointment on Friday, April 10th to go over the results of my CT Scan. It went pretty much as I expected. As good as the results are, my doctor confirmed that it is in no way leading to a cure, just a little more time. And I am okay with that. The discussion mainly centered on how the chemo treatments are affecting my quality of life and what exactly I am willing to put myself through for the extra time. I have some thinking to do.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">My most recent chemo treatment was my monthly double whammy of Carboplatin and Irinotecan. Needless to say I was not looking forward to it. But I did get a nice surprise during the treatment. Chris had some errands to take care of that day and at one point he stuck his head in the room and said &#8220;I have a surprise for you.&#8221; Then in the door he comes and right behind him was our oldest son with a big grin. I was so surprised that I ended up in tears, hence the red face and eyes in the picture (Curse these emotional roller coasters!).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a style=\"color: #800080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wendyjosavage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/p332_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendyjosavage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/p332_01-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"p332_01\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendyjosavage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/p332_01.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wendyjosavage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/p332_01-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">So after this bout of chemo I got the usual nausea and constipation. I didn&#8217;t however lose a bunch of weight, this time it seems to be holding steady. I feel like I&#8217;ve been really run down this week. I&#8217;m not sure if I picked up another bug or what. I&#8217;ve been coughing more this week and having trouble with shortness of breath and that tight feeling again. I haven&#8217;t really felt up to trying to do much of anything. But rest is good. Sleep is my friend! <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Not much more to report for now.
