Back to the Drawing Board... Again

Ugh!  We were SO close!  The ablation didn't get everything we were hoping it would.  Which really isn't a big deal... we knew there was a big possibility that they weren't able to get everything.  It appears that they annihilated the smaller lesion... yes, meaning it's no longer there.  Woohoo!  However they were only able to get a portion of the larger lesion.  So this is where the problem is... there are a couple of new lesions.  Granted they are pretty small lesions, but the fact is, the lesions are no longer "contained" like they were.  Which of course means that my chemo cocktail must have lost it's momentum (insert Debbie Downer music).  So back to the drawing board!  

Now I've said this in the past, but what's great about my cancer and my diagnosis, is that I have lots of options!  There are some amazing new drugs out there and Dr. H has 3 in particular in mind that she'd like me to consider.  There are of course the usual hoops and hurdles we need to jump through and over... for example, one of the drugs needs a certain Drs approval for me to start taking.  The reason for this is because it's no longer in a trial phase, but it's still not FDA approved.  And then one of the drugs needs approval from my insurance company.  So basically this week Dr. H has some wheeling and dealing to do.  I'll meet with her next week to discuss what she found out and which drug will be my best option.  

I'll keep you posted when I find out what my next chemo adventure will be.  The only question I have now is... how big is this drawing board?!?
