Wish I had happy news to tell you, but unfortunately I don't. The cancer in the liver is growing and has possibly spread. The liver surgeon wanted me to start chemo immediately, but that's not going to happen. I'm going on my cruise for my 50th birthday, and I'm not doing it sick from chemo.
He also wants me to go to a radiation specialist to find out if my insurance company will pay for a specialised radiation to my liver. It will probably take about 3 weeks to set it up and get it approved, so I will probably do that when I get back from the cruise. I've already told the oncologist that I'm not doing chemo again unless it's the only option left to me.
Neither chemo or the radiation are a cure. They are basically tools to prolong life. As of right now there isn't a cure for me. My onc said 2 years, but why should I take his word for it? I"m going to fire him and find someone that will work with me, not someone who has written me off already.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Love,
Millie
