It seems like every set of scans is like a chapter in Nancy's journey. Yesterday a new chapter started. She had a PET scan at 8:30am. We got preliminary results that showed new cancer spots in the liver and the cancer in the bones were very active again. This means the current medicine regimen is not working. So they also did a CT scan of Nancy's head. They advised her to take it easy (she has been!) over the weekend. Next Monday we have another follow-up, and now Tuesday an MRI of the brain at 2:00 and then due to schedule complications she has a 4:30 MRI of her spine. The first treatment is on the North side, the second on the South Hill. Wednesday we meet with Dr Call and will have the results. Monday December 2nd is when we know the new plan.
Dr Anthony did start the process of ordering the next level meds for treating Nancy. It takes at least a week to get insurance approval and the drug ordered. This is a hard time for Nancy. She has had very little strength and is tired. Hopefully the new plan will improve that. Thanks for wonderful and caring support.
