So... week 21 in the war on cancer. Not the best of weeks unfortunately. Here goes.
MRI scan on Tuesday showed progression in the brain. We are not certain what is the best treatment option for this, but stereotactic radiation seems to be one option. We will await the feedback on this from our oncologist here in Oslo who we will meet on Monday and also what our relentless Niki thinks is the best option.
Week 20 in the war on cancer has passed. Here are the highlights:
Dyanne is still coughing a bit and has a sore mout and has been a bit tired. She is maybe getting a bit better, but still not completely well.
We went for a regular check-up (every 6 months) of the ovarian cysts she has. The gynecologist at the Oslo University Hospital did not seem concerned. He believes they are not cancerous and no need to do anything. However, we asked him what he would think about anti-estrogen and anti-progesterone treatment and his response was that... "well, if you are considering this, maybe a better option might be to just do surgery and remove the last ovary and the cysts".
Week 19 in the war on cancer has passed, as have the year 2015. Happy New Year to everyone!
Dyanne's cough is still hanging around and she has not felt great the last few days. We will do a new "nose test" tomorrow to see if it may be some bacteria or virus causing it. A lot of people in Norway has this kind of cough at this time of the year, but it is nevertheless not any fun. Hope it will soon go away.
Dyanne also went to the pharmacy this week and picked up the following medicines: celecoxib, ritonavir, spironolactone, dapson, itraconazole, clarithromycin, disulfiram and warfarin
