Daylady Checking In

Hi Ladies!  I have been checking in periodically but also trying to make it through a summer that included moving our office to a new 7000 square foot space, celebrating 25 years in business, and announcing the sale of the company to my daughter and son-in-law...all in the last month.  Had my most recent CT scan this week, results yesterday, and slightly bummed.  It was almost identical to my scan in May (NED) with the exception of one small (1.8 cm) nodule on my liver that is "suspicious", but too small to identify.  Both my oncologist and my naturopath are wanting me to take a complete break from chemo.  If the nodule actually turns out to be something, then the Avastin is no longer working, but even if it is benign there is concern about staying on it for so long.  It has been causing HBP and the drug for that has been causing HBS so a bit of chemical maneuvering has been going on to get it all to line up right.  Both say I am in perfect health otherwise, and letting my body rest, and taking a "watchful waiting" approach makes sense for now.  They will do another scan in 3 months.  If it has grown, we will consider other options at that point.  I am leaning towards surgical removal, because it is only one small nodule, and isolated.  Surgical removal would carry the highest chance of success. Chemo, at this point, would be 4th line chemo and I am apparently resistant.  I will stick with the mistletoe injections and the low dose naltrexone, and my naturopath has changed my supplements to focus on my liver and immune system.  Anyone have liver nodules that turned out NOT to be cancer??  I had one show up last year but it disappeared again 2 scans later.  I'm determined to just enjoy this rest as much as I can.  Leaving on a solo road trip next week to go visit my grandchildren while my husband is at a convention in Oklahoma (decided he could do Oklahoma in August, by himself!  Heehee!!).  Hoping all is well with all of you.  I send prayers daily.  Hugs.  - Helen
