I've started round 3 of 6. This round is supposed to go a little quicker, 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
- My blood work came back looking good. Red, white, and platelets were good. Kidney numbers were good, too.
- Yesterday's CT scan was good. The fluid around my right lung is gone. The fluid around my left lung is still there, but "significantly" less. At my next visit, if it's still there, they're going to go ahead and drain it. My left kidney is back to normal size. That news and the news of the good blood work, the stent will likely be removed on September 8th instead of November 6th. The size of the tumor has shrunk significantly! The day before I started my first round, the tumor was the size of a football. Today, after two rounds, the tumor is smaller than a baseball.
- I met with Dr Ma and she is very pleased with the response, especially since it's only been two rounds.
