Thank you for your reply. Up until Wednesday’s Pet Scan I had approximately 6 liver lesions with the largest being around 5 cm. The rest were about 3 cm or smaller. He didn’t give me exact measurements but said most larger ones grew approximately 30% or 1 cm in 3 months plus several new smaller lesions. Pancreas tail/body lesion had been just under 4 cm but I’m assuming it’s about 5 cm now. Pet scan just mentioned them being larger. My oncologist thinks I’ve had this for well over a year. I have a long history of heart burn, indigestion and always being told I had gastritis or GERD. I’d started losing weight in November because I cut out sweets, my coffee with creamer and a lot of high fat foods. That seemed to help do away with my heartburn and indigestion. But the weight loss has been continuing at about 2-3 pounds a months lately. I definitely needed to lose weight initially but wish it would stabilize. I was doing well emotionally before finding out about the progression. It just seems like I’m back to 24/7 worry. I know I need to pick myself up and battle on with next treatment which is Everolimus. My 15 month old grandson is coming to my house tomorrow for awhile and I know he’ll cheer me up.
