sutent

Well I will be starting  sutent this week. My chest was not status quo as I thought. The nodes left after surgery have doubled in size and it's not clear if the fliud in my lungs is cancer or post thoracotomy but likely the cancer. It makes me sad that I had the thoracotomy which was very painful to prevent needing medications for a while and it didn't work. I will not return to work as thought as I know not how my body will react to the sutent so at least another month leave of absence)>;. Wow what a bad day.
