Overdue Cancer Update

This should have been posted a week ago.  Like when we went to the latest doctor in the process. Apologies for letting the day job get in the way.

The news is good.  It’s also short.  All the markers they look at in determining future treatment are what they want them to be.  The things that should be positive are positive, and the things that should be negative are negative.  To put it another way, we are looking at a best case scenario.

The treatment will be radiation and an estrogen blocker.  They started Kathy on the estrogen blocker that day and gave her something for hot flashes.  The last bit is disappointing.  I was enjoying the hot flashes.  For once we were in agreement on where to set the thermostat.

Kathy will have to have a chest x-ray and a liver sonogram in a week.  This is routine to make sure her organs are strong enough for the radiation treatment.  We aren’t expecting any bad news.  The radiation will be scheduled once the results are in.

That’s all the news we have now.
