IT Methotrexate is working!

I’ve been getting intrathecal methotrexate (methotrexate injected into my cerebro-spinal fluid) for about a month now, which makes for a busy chemo schedule twice a week in Albany along with my other chemo regimen. But it seems to be working!

Texting with my oncologist

I don’t know what this means for my chemo schedule in the next month or so, but I I know it’s good news.  Only half of patients respond to methotrexate at all, so I’m in that half, which is great.  Now median survival is seven months, with 15% of patients stretching that out beyond 12 months.
