The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Yesterday I had my 9 month CT scan.  The blood work was better than before,k bbbbbbbbbuuuuutttttttt

It appears the cancer is back, possibly in 3 places.  I will know more Tuesday, Dec, 4th when we meet with the Oncologist.

Yesterday the CT scan was hot off the presses, so to speak, and the surgeon was the only one who had time to read it and meet with us.  By Tuesday, he will have met with the Onc. and the 2 of them can go over the results and come up with a plan.  Right now we're thinking going back to chemo since it has worked before.  Now I think the surgeon who came to IU from Slone-Kettering in NYC, and has patients coming in from around the US knows what he is doing.  I don't think he would have said anything if he didn't think there was some stuff to look at and pay attention to.

1. Possible cancer cells showing up in the liver.

2. Watching a nodule that is growing in the lung.  In August, this was mentioned as a spot that needed to be watched.  It was 1 mm, now it is 6 mm,

3.  Lymph nodes around the aorta , at this point I don't know where that is.

More on Tuesday, thanks for the thoughts and prayers, Captain
