Hi
Back in November 2020 I was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer after having a partial cancerous blockage removed from my bowel. No stoma was required. I started chemo in January 2022 initially on panitumumab but after a severe skin reaction was takeoff and continued only on a normal Chemo treatment plan.
Unfortunately on Feb 28th after being admitted to hospital the day before with a suspected blood clot, I suffered a massive PE which resulted in myself going into a cardiac arrest with a prolonged resuscitation of 38 minutes thanks due to the fantastic work of the medical team.
After a period of rest and follow up checks no adverse effects have been identified from the Cardiac Arrest (CA) and I am back on the Chemo. Part of the tests was a CT scan immediately after the CA should a reduction in the size of the lesions on the liver. A CT scan done before restarting the Chemo showed the lesions as in-measurable . I have now completed my four session treatment plan and have a CT scan scheduled for the end of the month
which brings me eventually to my question: if the latest CT scan at the end of the month also shows as in-measurable does this mean it has gone into remission.
I will be asking my Oncologist at the consultation afterwards but just wanted some views.
thank you for taking the time to read my rather long first message.
