I know I haven't been keeping this updated like I should, but it's a rough couple of months.
My husband passed away on February 26. Please don't ask me to talk about it. It's just too painful right now. I've had to give up our apartment because I couldn't afford it and even if I could've, I couldn't handle being there anymore.
I found that not only did the tumor not shrink on the Carbo/Taxol, it actually grew! My oncologist had some tests done on samples from my tumor. It's what's called platinum resistant. He was thinking about starting me on Doxil, so I had to have an echocardiogram to make sure that my heart is healthy. Thankfully it is. My oncologist and I talked about it and decided that we'd try Doxil next. There were other options, but the side effects were more severe. I'm waiting for my new schedule. All I know is it will be once every 28 days for 6-8 cycles with weekly blood tests.
