My next scan is in a couple of weeks and I'm starting to worry about if the Irinotecan will still be working. Will have had 8 doses of it when the scan happens, and the last scan after 4 doses showed it slowed right down in reducing the main tumour in my liver. I don't know if that's bad, normal or still good. After having had a failed result with Oxiliplatin after 4 doses it's all a bit scary. Not sure what they'll with me if it has stopped working. The idea that it might mean there's nothing they can do is ever so slightly terrifying.
Was aiming to start the Rave diet as it was recommended by a friend but not sure how I might react to it. It means cutting out all meat and fish, and that sounds not only impossible 7 days a week, but it could possibly have a negative impact on my overall health by doing it. Don't anyone who has tried it for cancer reversal purposes so no idea who to talk to about it.
