I Thought I would let everyone know that my News from my CT Scan on Mon of this week the report was not good. The Tumors have grown I was so upset my Dr has switch my chemo med and started a new one as of Tues the new medicine is Navlbine. But I am being to think that it is time to look for outside help any suggestion would be nice. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest I am not saying that I am giving up on him but I am not. All of my lab work and blood pressure is in the normal range.

Thanks again.

    Drug Change is the Norm with Progression
    Hi Missgogo,

    That is the norm when your cancer progresses, you try some other drug. One hopes that the next one will work for a while. Lab work doesn't tell a whole story, it's just a measurement. Blood pressure should be in range otherwise it would be time for a new drug also.

    Not certain what you mean by "outside help".

    There is no cure and the online offers of numerous cures don't really work. They are the modern equivelant of snake oil sellers. Diet? Some people believe in it, I am not one of them. If you eat a balance diet, that should take care of you.

    BC is the oldest recorded cancer. Back in the our earliest history, there were no additive to food, no refine sugars and all that kind of stuff, women and I assume men still died of the disease.

    Perhaps, by outside help, means a second opinion or going to a larger cancer center? I think that is a good thing to do at times.

    Best,

    Doris

    Sorry for the progression
    Your labs are in the normal range which is very good. Second opinion is a good idea. It is alway useful to know what other oncologist can advice for your situation. Wishing this new Chemo is going to work.

    I will continue to pray for you ...
    I agree with New Flower .. 2nd opinion is a good idea. Hoping all goes well with your new chemo, and it kills the beast.

    Strength, Courage and Hope.
