PET scan results

I had an appointment with my oncologist this afternoon to discuss the PET scan results. Some areas are better but the main tumor is still growing.

We're going to try Topotecan (Hycamtin®) next. It'll be once a week for 3 weeks and then a week off. One of the side effects is hair loss, so I get to deal with that again.

He may add a second chemo to it after a while. I don't have a schedule yet but I should know it by the end of the week.

More side effects

The skin issues and infections that I had in the beginning of July are back. I've got rashes on my legs and feet, blisters in weird places like the middle of my thighs and sides of my ankles. I have an appointment with my gynecologic oncologist on Tuesday for a follow up. My regular oncologist decided to cancel the 7th chemo because he wants to see the PET scan results first. Also he wants to give me time to heal so I go back to him on 10/22.
