Sarah got Abraxane treatment again last Thursday and also got the re-evaluated results of her last CT scan (now compared to the previous scan taken right before it). Overall it seems that most tumors are getting smaller, but not in her liver. There's now a 1.8cm small tumor in addition to the much larger one which grew to 6.7cm. The scan was from the point she switched over from Taxol to Abraxane, so now we need to see how this round of Abraxane works. We'll run another set of tumor markers in 2 weeks in order to see if the Abraxane is bringing the overall tumor load on Sarah's system down, but we might still have to worry about her liver tumor even if they come down.
Sarah got a fever this weekend (we think this is due to the treatment) and unfortunately pretty much spent the weekend on the couch. Peaked at 102 and is now down to 99. We're wondering if this is going to happen again after treatment this week...
