What a day! We went to the oncologist today to get the results of the PET, blood work, and hear the plan for attacking my cancer, Dr Faria (the oncologist) said they found a 1.9CM tumor in my right lung and they can;t (or better yet) won't start the chemo till after they find out about the tumor. So. I;m going in the hospital tomorrow morning for a biopsy on the lung tumor and have the chemo port installed. Hopefully, I'll be able to come home in the afternoon. He should get the biopsi results the first of the week, and I'll start chemo on October 10th. They are going to determine what to do about the lung tumor. I will be on a fusion pump that I will need to carry around.. I guess I'l just wait and have to see how it goes as well as the biopsy/Ally's infection is getting better. She is now home and has an open wound so it can breath and heal. They painted a "Smiley Face" on her abdoman and told her that if any of the redness or inffection spreads beond that line she will have to have immediate surgery. We're still praying for her!

More to come after my bipopsy tommorow`1
Bob,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the biopsy tomorrow. I sure wish you weren't going through this... I don't know how you manage to keep your spirits up, but I'm so glad you do! Thinking of you often and praying for a total recovery.
I wonder about this new cancer treatment they are researching now, where they inject t-cells that attack only cancer cells. I think it has been tested on leukemia, but maybe its something your doctor would know about. It really sounds promising in the cancer world!
