For the last couple of years my tumors have grown but very slowly thanks to cancer inhibitors. My pain and discomfort continue from tumors; however, it appears to be more attributed to multiple loops of bowel that are adherent to my anterior abdominal wall (basically - my bowels are fully stuck to my front abdomen wall from the surgery 6.5 and 4.5 years ago) and as I move or lay flat, they are stuck and then stretch which increases my pain and discomfort. The good news is that at least there is no evidence of obstruction, so function is still good. There is also a slightly heterogeneous enhancement of the liver around the falciform ligament correlate with liver function enzymes. There are still plenty of metastatic mucinous neoplasm tumors seen throughout my peritoneal cavity, however, not much change between visits except two tumors increased by 3mm and 5mm in my lower pelvis. The plan after my visits with my specialists have consistently been to keep taking my medications and cancer inhibitors and reevaluate 6 months after.
Although not near the pace I would like, I am grateful that I’m still able to work to change legislation both at the national and state levels, ski, gold prospect, hunt, fish, camp, work on my house holiday lights and several other things I find fun. I look forward to covid not being a huge problem so we all can get back to the things we are unable to enjoy. I just keep going and keep fighting the cancer. Sorry for the long delay in updates. God bless you all.
