So Just returned from the Oncologist office with mom. I guess you can say the emotions right now run somewhere between, angry, scared, frustrated among many more. Mom was taking Carbo and Taxol every week. Scans came in today and shows growth of the adrenal tumor. Doc said no other signs of spreading. He did mention that there were a couple spots on her lung that he's not concerned with at this point because everyone has spots but of course will watch it. He's sending her to have a head ct since it's been 3 months since the surgery to remove the 2 lesions and the wbr. He said there are also several clots in her abdomin. they arent completely blocked but enough to need blood thinners. So the new plan is, starting wed she will begin Alimta. He thinks it might be better for her seeing as its pretty mild with side effects and the taxol and carbo kicked her butt with vomiting and lose of weight. Of course my mom has the look as if the doc handed her a death sentence. Which he did no such thing but she terrified, which is understandable. I'd love it if fellow survivors shared there stories. If anyone has had success with Alimta. At this point i want to print out some stories so she can read them and see theres hope cause she at this point has none
