The report from David's most recent scan is in and at best he is stable. The Dr said they have 2 markers they measure by and by one there is slight shrinkage and by the other there could be slight growth. Then he follows that up with immunotherapy can cause nodes to become inflamed and then they can shrink. But as long as he is tolerating this treatment he can stay in this trial.
So that's the long and short of it. I didn't ask any questions. I feel a bit of a cultural rift with this Dr and I don't think he wants the wife to ask questions. He cuts me off when I talk. Very annoying. So I'll have to talk to David and let him ask questions next time if he wants to. Mainly I don't want them to let this grow another 20%, calling it stable, just because he's tolerating the trial.
Anyway. I am tired of cancer. I know David is too. And lots of other people too. Ugh.
So please pray for:
SHRINKAGE, no side effects, Bryon, Rob, Mark, Ruth, RJ, and Nancy. And maybe a big ole heaping plateful of good news! And probably my attitude.
Also I read blogs should always include pictures. Here's a pic of the super ugly furniture in this waiting area!
Maybe it's trying to be both cheerful and sterile?
Thank you for loving us!
