Hi Ali,

Even though the liver "spots" remain it does sound encouraging to have the onc positive in that there is a 60% chance of remission with a new tx plan. The positive news in the new chemo plan (that you describe) is that they will be using drugs with less cardiotoxicity. The fluid in the lung area may be due somewhat to the reduction in heart pump activity. What cardiac drugs are you using now to assist the heart? This is just a point of interest since my field at one time was cardiac nursing and since I also have had a reduction in ejection fraction from chemo. Luckily that reduction was caught very quickly and chemo was held then reduced.

You are in my prayers for success in the new treatment plan and a better time ahead.

Hugs,
Peg
