Home from Houston. The travel was smooth and easy, despite my chemo woes. It's the day or so after returning back home that've been hard on my ole' body.
Dr. Curley visit was fairly uneventful.
Everything's the same. Nothing new. No growing, no spreading. No shrinking, either. Everything's just the same same same.
Where do we go from here?
We go back to UCH, look over the newest scans and blood work with Dr. Kane and work with her on the next steps forward.
I have an appointment to meet with her next Friday (7/10), as long as she's back to work after the death of her husband.
There's lots to be thankful for here and yet we can't help but feel frustration at the same time, too!
Moving forward...
This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!

Hi Abbey - I know you're disappointed, but I'm so glad you are able to see and be thankful for the no growing and no spreading. Praise God. We are all behind you, helping push you forward.

No growing? That is great news! Yet, I know the frustration. :/
I always want such "absolutes" - I am cured. I am not. Status quo almost worries me more than either of those.
I hope you feel better soon - hang in there! This is cause to celebrate! :)
Ugh. I didn't mean for that last comment to sound so flippant. I'm sorry. :(
Thank you, Abbey -- we DID want to know. Of course you feel frustrated, how could you help it! But what an amazing body you have, to have keep that cancer at bay so well, and what an amazing liver you have, to be working perfectly in despite of everything! And what amazing strength of spirit you have. You Go, Girl!
