This afternoon, Diana and I met with Dr. Erlich. I put on 8 lbs. in one month! Dr. Erlich said he has never seen anyone on Sutent gain weight. There's a first. I might need to go on a diet soon. The PET/CT showed an increase in the amount of pleural effusion. Translation – fluid build up between the lining of the lung and the chest cavity. Well, that explains the shortness of breath and coughing. My lungs have no room to expand! So now we have to remove that fluid, send it to the lab to check for cancer. Here we go again.
Carpe Diem.
