TINA'S FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
Donation protected
Dear Family and Friends,
This update is from Tina directly;
Thank you for taking interest in my journey
I am going a few treatments back, because in my mind it explains a lot of my journey.
3rd treatment was the most painful, that was non stop and I thought if it’s going to be like this how can I.....It made me feel so scared. I was on so many medication, it made up for at least 15 years. All the different medication help with my liver infections to be able to with stand the following treatment.
Going into the 4th, Dr Vogl and I talked about it and because the blood work was still great he just gave my extra time and adjusted placement of TACE. The medication is crazy, it’s like speed so I feel almost invisible, but it also has the negatives like sleeping problems, elevated heart rate etc. I only had to take them for 10 days but I faded it out so it took 6 days more. And then it went down hill, skin rashes, fainting out of the blue and just feeling sick every single for the entire month. I got blood work done and it was saw not good news. The 5th treatment was supposed to be the last before a 3 month break. But the outcome was not good. I had to get more test done, after the MRI scan we could see that all the metastasis that were treated looked smaller, but out of the blue in full force now I have about 10 brand new ones. We could see them on the MRI film side by side from the last MRI and this one and it was plain to see.
So.....What is next
I have to go through extra chemo pills, just to help fight this new problem. It is used to stop cells forming new metastasis. I will need to win territory back. It also means that I have to get more treatment to fight harder.
I am sending my SOS out here, because I need all your help.
With much love,
Christina
