I saw Dr G today and the result of last week's MRI is no new brain mets. Yay! Now we move on to a PET/CT scan (haven't had one in a long time) and after we get those results, we will be ready to make a decision about changing treatment.
My cancer is slowly progressing, which means changing treatment. I may stay on Xeloda and add something I've already taken, such as Afinitor, or something new. I've already refused to take Abraxane or any other taxanes again because I fear the neuropathy in my feet will increase dramatically, as it did the one time I tried Taxol.
Dr G and I read about curcumin (the active ingredient in the Indian spice turmeric) being effective in cancer treatment. So I need to choose a new naturopath and get started with this.
In the meanwhile, I will get ready for the second cataract surgery, enjoy mid-winter break with Rik off of school, and schedule all these appointments.

No new brain mets is always good new.
ReplyDeleteif you go to this blog margaret.healthblogs.org, and scroll all the way down about mid way, on the right side, you will find a wealth of information with regards to curcumin in the context of cancer treatment.
ReplyDeleteI know several people who have liked the naturopaths at University Health Clinic on Roosevelt Way. I saw Dr. Mona Fahoum there a couple of times.
