Firstly some good news - Tiernan’s doctor called and gave us the all clear on the biopsy which was wonderful news. So hopefully it was just a one off and we wont have any more problems there.
My day has not gone so well. Last night I was having a lot of belly pains and chest pains. My weight has gone up to 46.5kg (from 43kg) so they were a little worried about fluid retention and/or kidney problems. So this morning I was sent off for yet another CT (I am so sick of having a cannular put in for CT dye - my poor little veins are so sore). About an hour after the CT Kerry called me - I think from now on I will refuse to take calls from Kerry as it is always bad news!! Apparently the tumour near my heart has grown from 2.7cm x 2.8cm two weeks ago to 2.7cm x 3.4cm. Starting chemo can initially cause swelling of the tumour so they are not too worried about this. I will have another CT soon and then they will be able to tell more then. The other unfortunate result was that my liver is currently swollen and my liver function blood tests are showing abnormal results. So they have called in a liver specialist and he is trying to determine what the cause is. Apparently none of the chemo drugs should be causing liver problems so he is looking back at all of the drugs I have been exposed to recently to see if any of them could be the problem. Hopefully it is just a toxic reaction to a drug rather than a more serious liver issue. The bummer is that apparently Panadol and liver troubles dont go together so I just have to cope with the chest and tummy pain! Unfortunately my appetite is not so great but I am trying to force food down whenever I get the slightest hunger twinge! Hopefully tomorrow I will have better news to report
