Not today

• Bloodwork, appointment with Dr. T NP A and treatment at Siteman South County

I talked to Dr. T on Friday about my CT scan and he described it as stable. He told me that some of the tumors in my lungs had grown a few millimeters and some in my liver had gotten a little smaller or remained unchanged. Dr. T said that there was nothing in the scan that changes our current plan of treatment. Hector and I took it as good news, especially considering that I have only had a few rounds of chemo since my previous CT scan in June. It's been hard to stay on schedule with my body taking it's sweet time to recover after each treatment. I might have mentioned that once or twice.

So rinse and repeat. My ANC this morning was 0.5 (even after a week of Neupogen injections). We'll give my body another week to recover. We'll have another week of Neupogen injections. And we'll try again for chemo next Tuesday. We did meet with NP A today and we went over the details of the CT scan, there are a couple other spots that increased in size... in addition to the lung tumors. If I had read the scan report before I talked to Dr. T, I'm not sure that I would have described it as stable. And unfortunately the mass near my left kidney that led to me getting a stent... is unchanged in size. That's a bummer.
