Growing or Going???

Today is treatment number 4.  I am currently getting Avastin which I'm sure has another name but it is my first med out of many.  They are reducing one of the Meds which is causing both tingling in my fingers and keeping my white counts lower than they want them to be.  They are also running it longer as to help minimize the tingling somewhat.  The rest of the day will likely be devoted to naps and try to eat what I can. 

Sometime before my appointment with the Oncologist two weeks from today I will have a Scan scheduled so they figure out if the Cancer in liver and tumor in Colon are getting smaller or not.  Today the doctor told me to mentally get ready for a couple more round of chemo.  The scan will determine whether those happen or he will get me ready  for surgery on my Liver.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and words of encouragement and support.
