So, hi. I'm new here.
Quick rundown of how we got here and what we know.
Mid August: guess who is pregnant with baby #8?? Me!!! Hot damn, very welcome surprise.
Late August: visit to GI for symptoms that had been persisting. Colonoscopy 3 days after initial visit. No drugs due to early pregnancy, I saw them find my tumor. That thing was huge and ugly.
Early September: bowel resection, done at 10 weeks pregnant. 18 lymphnodes all negative, was classified stage II, no chemo recommended but prior to surgery a spot was found via ultrasound. No one was overly concerned since lymphnodes were clear. Anyone see where this leads?
MRI/liver biopsy/lots of labs..
December 5, biopsy results show liver spot is malignant. CEA up from 14 to 16 to 24 from September to December but everything else looks swell. Plan is to cook this baby until 32+ weeks, induce then hit me with chemo.
So that's me in a nutshell. I just turned 42, married with 7.5 kids. Oldest is almost 20, youngest is about to be 2, plus this new one!
