How Am I Doing Doc?

A couple weeks ago I was having some pain and other symptoms, and was scheduled for another CT Scan. I met with my Oncologist the next day, however they had not received a comparison scan from MD Anderson, and were unable to compare the two to see how the tumors were reacting to the chemotherapy. Today, I met with my Oncologist again and was told that after they compared the scans, there was no significant change, and that he was certain the abdominal pain I was having was due to the formation of scar tissue and not from a tumor. I was also told that some of the other pain issues I was having; upper back, chest, and pelvis, were common nonspecific pains that are seen quite frequently after major surgery and during chemotherapy. I am not sure what I expected to hear, but know what I wanted to hear. I guess this will give me another month to heal and pray that the tumors are getting smaller.
