So when you are a cancer patient on immunotherapy, fevers and vomiting are generally not good signs. They want you to come to the hospital to make certain the treatment is not attacking any vital organs. So the wonderful staff at UM ER treat you like a general admittance and do all the necessary scans and lab work to rule out any specific infections. You are then placed on observation until your temperature subsides. This is how I just spent the last two days and am now home resting after a routine viral infection.
I had my routine scans on Wednesday and so while in the hospital my Oncologist came by to check in on me. He told me he had checked the scan results. He saw considerable tumor growth in my liver but no other new sites or growth outside it. He is considering a few options for directed treatment to the liver along with the continued immunotherapy. We will discuss these options on July 5th at my next infusion.
I can only say thank you to all of you who are praying for me. I enjoy your comments and notes on Facebook and text messages.
Peace and all good......
