I saw my oncologist yesterday and requested that I skip infusion this week. I explained that my last infusion was difficult. The skin on my hands were cracking and bleeding, my tongue felt like it was shredded by razor blades and the fact I dealt with diarrhea for ten days was exhausting. He agreed I should take a break and restart my folfiri-vectbix next week at smaller dosages. He told me my markers had remains in the 4.2-4.4 range for six weeks, and that we were heading in the right direction. My markers back in April were 20.8 before starting infusion therapy. He told me I still had 5 more sessions of Folfiri-Vetribics and then we would do a scan to look at the lymph nodes and nodules on my lungs. I will always have some kind of chemo therapy in my future but I was told I can request a break when things get too difficult. It feels so good to do the things I did before starting chemo but I know this is all helping to extend my life. Grateful for all those supporting me and the doctors and nurses caring for me.
