Quickie

Yesterday I had the ascites fluid drained again after only eight days since the last one. For three or four days prior to that I felt miserable. They took out 12 liters. Twelve liters in eight days. It's coming back more frequently and in greater volume. I'm not sure what that means but I know it's not good. I'm looking deeper into the permanent catheter.

I scheduled an unplanned visit to Dr. George tomorrow. I want to have my blood drawn to check my CEA. If there's no progress I will stop chemo. If there is progress I may stop anyway. Quality of life is becoming more of an issue.

Carry on.
