Here's a quick update since it has been a while since the last post - Sarah came through the first Taxol-Carboplatin treatment fairly well. No significant nausea after this first one, but definitely fatigue which usually set in hardest near the end of the day. Sarah also felt "groggy" for a week. She's feeling fine now as we wait for the next treatment.
Sarah also saw a neuro-oncologist last week and we'll be seeing a Neuro-surgeon this Wednesday to discuss what the treatment options are for her pituitary macroadenoma. Because her prolactin levels were not super-high (although above normal) and the other hormone levels were normal, the adenoma is either a typical benign "non-secreting" pituitary growth or it's a breast cancer met (which is much less likely). Options will probably range from no treatment and periodic MRI checks to biopsy and/or removal through neurosurgery. We'll know more over the following weeks...
On a much less dramatic note, I had Lasik eye surgery last Friday and it went great. I could see 20-20 the next day and my eyes are healing up nicely - great to be free of glasses and contacts after all these years.
I'll post an update after we've talked to the neurosurgeon.
