@loula Thanks for asking. I am doing well. Like the rest of the world I am grateful to be in the process of getting vaccines.
It sounds to me like you are doing just fine. I have one thing to mention from your reply. You say that being in control of your life “hasn’t changed yet”. Just know that it doesn’t have to change. You will always be in charge of the treatment options that are given to you. That does not mean decisions will be easy or comfortable, but just make sure they are always informed. I look forward to hearing from you again. Peace, Nancy

Hello Nancy, Well yesterday was my day with the Doctor to find out results, He said my MRI came back no brain tumors , but the Pet scan showed two spots on my liver that they want to do a biopsy of. I am stage 4 because of this, they will put a port in my chest when I go for the biopsy, But next Tuesday I go and talk to someone about the chemo. Injections that start next Wednesday, Taxol,Carboplatin, Keytruda. I believe it is four rounds of that but not sure will check on that. Then when that is over I will stay on Keytrurda and see how that works out for me, the checkout lady told me that these Injections usually take 6 hours. I ask about survival and it is incurable 1 to 1 1/2yrs but if the chemo and keytruda work as they are hoping then maybe longer really do not know. So I am in shock a lot to absorb and if anyone has any information on Taxol, Carboplatin, Keytruda please fill me in on it. it is going to take a lot of adjusting to this but I am not going to give up as long as I am able to take care of myself I have a good cat named Floyd he is 3 yrs old, and keeps me happy, I will fight this and give it my all. I think it is the shock of the doctor telling me yes this is going to be what kills you eventually. There is always going to be something that kills us so we all are in the same boat, not the best news to get but I am alive and going to try my best to get through this.
Stay Safe and Healthy.
Cynde
