can. First the good news: The 2cm tumor in my abdomin is gone. My blood tests are great. My neobladder or Indianna pouch (one object, two names) and kidneys are fine. Second bad news: The 2cm in my lung that had deflated is back up to the size it was before and growing. It decided to be like the U. S. Military and "change and adapt." So taxol will no longer work on it. It has overcome the current chemo. So I'm back early because they've stopped the chemo. I really didn't want any chemo this week. I felt so well last week, that I didn't want to ruin it. But not exactly for this reason. So the tumor being gone from the abdomin is wonderful. I thought the lung one would either shrink or remain the same, but instead it grew back up. So that was a shocker. That was hard. This was even more shocking. He's purposing that I have an operation. Cut the cancer out of my lung. Laproscopic, between the ribs. No cracking or braking the sternum, not cracking or breaking the ribs. He's going to talk to the surgeon and see if it can be done by minimal invasiveness. If it can't, then I go on different chemo. The problem is that the chemo will be a long time and will damage my bone marrow. Right now, my bone marrow seems to be doing well, but it won't soon. The bone marrow needs a break from being assaulted. He'd like me to try the operation if it's not too invasive and give my body a break from the chemo. The operation should either kill it or buy me some time. The operation is contingent upon many different things. Like my having decent lung capacity. So I'm going to be working out a lot like walking, dancing, stair climbing, etc. All stuff to build lung capacity. No running because my knees couldn't take it and my lungs aren't ready for that. I've had so many operations tha my heart and lungs may not even pass the tests and I may have to go back on chemo. So if you believe in prayer, please pray that the best thing for me happens. Whether it's an operation or chemo. Also pray that this nightmare becomes a past memory and I can live a happy, healthy, productive life soon. My life had been "on hold" for this crap for going on a year now and it's nuts. So my husband and I were shocked 2xs during the test results and what could be done about it. I'm also going to try to find some dandelions that aren't contaminated. A dandelion flower cleaned out my lungs before and I think they might clean them out again. Finding ones that aren't contaminated is difficult since my husband uses a gas and oil lawn mower and I don't see any in my garden. So to say the results were mixed is an understatement. So they sent me home and will consult with a dr. Take care. Peace, love, and health to all of you.
