Today was my 3rd (and last) Chemo session (Yea!). Was a little disappointed in the doctor we met with today to discuss the post-chemo treatment. He wasn't very nice or informative.
So, want I understand so far, my post chemo treatment involves getting a PET scan and a CT scan done in 3 weeks. Then..meet with the doctor again to review the results. If there are no "hot spots" on the scans- then I will proceed to radiation. If there are "hot spots" then they will re-biopsy and I guess I would start chemo again (not sure on that point).
The doctor said the radiation treatment would take 4 weeks. That was different information than the 1 week I was originally told it would be.
The nurse giving me chemo had a hard time sticking my vein today. The first jab was really painful...and apparently she missed the vein. She did a second attempt further up my arm..thankfully she got a vein that time. Once again I pretty much slept thru the whole 5 hour procedure.
