A new phase

Yesterday in the contact with the oncologist the result of two scans, liver and bones.
The liver metastases are even smaller than last time, but the bone scan gave a worse result. Several new metastases were found.
But the oncologist indicated a complete new treatment.
Since January 2013 a small number of hospitals in Holland are allowed to prescribe a new medicine in combination with hormone therapy. This medicine is a so called 'oral chemo', and must block the side roads of the new cells.
The real chemo therapy can be postponed in this way, but during the coming week we will see which side effects this medicine will give.
Statistically we reach the first boarder of five years, but we opt for the double!

Waiting for the summer

Last weekend we were at the Belgium coast side to find courage and fresh air.
Today and tomorrow two CT scans will take place of liver and bones.
The result will be given by the oncologist on June 17.
We hope to get the real summer feeling then.
