One day early ....

I couldn't hold out until 9am tomorrow's appointment, so I ended up in the ER at 6am today. The ascities  fluid build up went across the abdominal and upwards towards my chest. That was the most painful, felt like a balloon that was pumped too full ,  2 inches beneath the middle of my chest.

They drew 4200 ml today and gave me albumin to slow down the process. Hopefully that helps.

This past Tuesday I went from 9 am to 730 pm at the clinical drug trial receiving the combo medicine for immunotherapy, clinical MK drug and Keytruda drug. They switched me to this combo just Tues.

It is less invasive than chemo and will reach certain areas that chemo will not. It does take more visits as this process is slower to start seeing results.

Now I can have space in my tummy to eat and drink anything. My weight is now 135 after fluid draw was done
