So just to catch you all up, I did 2 cycles of the new trial medication. One week on (10 pills a day, half in the morning, half at night), two weeks off. So a total of 6 weeks.
I had some mild side effects similar to the infusion chemo, such as hair loss, some mouth sores, fatigue. They weren't as bad as the regular chemo ones were, and did not last as long (other than the hair loss, it all fell out.)
Yesterday we went in for a CT scan to see if the new drug was working and how much progress we made.
We don't have the official report back with all the measurements, but the visual read on my ct scan was shrinkage at ALL tumor sites, and no new locations. And all my organ functions are holding up well to the treatment. The best news we could have asked for.
Now we do 2 more cycles and check again. Here's to 6 more weeks of progress. Love you all!
