Day 168

Supposed to have my 9th chemo session but the cancer cell has grown in size and re-appeared in the x-ray. Cancer marker increased from 34 to 47 U/mL.

@$&#%^*!?! Bloody hell!

Doc says there is no point in continuing with the ALIMTA infusion as the cancer is now able to resist the drug. Have to try another drug and to do that, need to undergo a further test called ALK Mutation. This drug is called XALKORI which targets the cancer cells and destroys them.
It is in tablet form so no infusion required.
