MRI Results and Temador treatment

I had my bi-weekly Avastain treatment and a visit with the Oncologist to discuss the MRI results. The report was a bit vague this time, it did not give any dimensions. The only thing the report indicated was a slight increase in size. The Oncologist reminded me that even with an MRI it still not an exact science when you are dealing with small changes in size. I had gotten used to the tumor shrinking by a measurable amount. The short answer, now that given the long narrative is that they error on the side of growth when they can not tell due to such a slight change.

I start the Temador on Friday, I give myself a day in between the Avastain and the Temador. I learned that lesson early on in my treatments. You have to give your body time to recoup. The Temador is a five day treatment which is taken in pill form and I do at home. We get up at 6:00AM and I take the anti-nausea pill, go back to bed then get at 7:00AM and take the 300mg's of Temador go back to bed then up for the day 8:00AM and have a light breakfast and the rest of my medications. With this treatment I do not leave the house, I get so run down from the Temador and tired from all the anti-nausea medication that I sleep most of the time.
