And Then There Was More!

They need to stop looking for cancer.  Every time they look, there is more, more, more!

Most recently my oncologist notes read like this, "the patient had an elevated CA-125 above a 900... that is an all time high.  The CT shows evidence of significant progression of disease with interval development of ascites and peritoneal carcinomatosis, significant progression of disease with enlarged lymphadenopathy, primarily of the left gastric and portacaval chain, right internal mammary chain, and probably left supraclavicular chain, most likely small bowel ileus. Infiltrating serosal disease cannot be excluded."

The supraclavicular chain of lymph nodes go up the neck and into the brain.  That is an exciting place to have cancer.  Maybe that would explain the extreme headaches that I have on the left side of my head.

Stay posted for exciting updates.
