Well had good news at Christmas tumour reduced by half and its gone from my liver chemo suspended yippee do.
I have been a bit breathless in the last couple of weeks and tummy getting bigger, saw the gynaecologist yesterday he is going to be doing a laparotomy soon followed by surgery excellent news, mentioned the breathlessness and the tummy he examined me and confirmed the ascites is building back up.
Has anyone else experienced this during chemo if it hadn't been suspended I would have been having chemo 5 today.
Yes , I had just got my ascites slowing down , went eight weeks while on low dose paclitaxel , however started to have seizures ten days ago and after two brain scans it appears to be in my brain . On steroids and epilim and have not had a sizure for a week , however chemo suspended while I wait for a new plan of action . Am afraid the ascites will build up again . Anybody else having similar problems ?
