Good news - PET SCAN results showed cancer has NOT spread anywhere else! Better chance of cancer shrinking knowing it's localized to one area.
Oncologist said the sharp pains in kidney area are probably due to where the remaining cancer that couldn't be removed is & actually might be a good sign that the chemo is shrinking it. Only 3 days of chemo - so I find that abit hard to believe.
Vic stopped reading - 'cuz he's outta' books lent to him, but doesn't want any more when we return those. I've added calories in his diet (while trying to keep them outta' mine - LOL) so hopefully his weight not drop at least anymore.
It has been 9 weeks since Vic has worked and maybe it really is muscle mass weight causing weight loss. He said he even notices less muscle in his thighs - but 'cuz it was from 1 weeek to the next that the 5 lbs dropped it really did scare me! I picked up a pamphlet at cancer center library on "eating during chemo" & have added calories by following some of it's suggestions, so fingers crossed for Monday's Chemo treatment weigh-in!  |
