I had a molecular genetic test done October 25th. This test was done to find out what chemo would best treat the growing tumors. I heard from my oncologist today. There are 5 different chemo options. He named a few and I've actually done some of them before; 5FU and Irinotecan. I'm not sure which one I'll be doing as of right now. Should hear from the nurse tomorrow. He did say he wanted to start me on one chemo for now, then add another one later as a combination. I'll be getting a port sometime soon.
I've been off systemic treatment since first of May (Nexavar). I waited for what seemed like an eternity for insurance approval for Cyberknife. Since the approval never came, the doctor decided to treat me at no cost. I'm still amazed by that, even though I shouldn't be. God's timing is always best!
Now since the tumors are growing and as much as I don't want to do this, I'm ready to get started on this leg of the journey.
