The C T Scan revealed some increase in size of the pancreatic tumor, new spots on the liver and some fluid build up in Shelley's abdomen and on her right side. It is too soon for the chemo to have an effect, but these are evident changes since her last scan in July.
Aside from stopping Shelley's back pain medication tonight because "it may have contributed to her WPW episodes," and giving her a very low steroid dose, the doctors have not yet readjusted her meds to address the nausea that still hovers around the edges. They are still in "consulting mode" because so many of the drugs they might consider as replacements are problematic for WPW syndrome. Cardiology is only "peripherally" involved in the discussions and Oncology wants to have "more direct conversations" before going forward with any other changes.
Monday, Shelley was 1/10 in her sense of well-being. Tuesday she was 2.5/10. Today she was 3.5-4/10 so is moving in the right direction. She is now on a full fluid diet that, so far, she has been able to keep down.
