August 12th update

Today was routine and very not routine.  The routine...  Nancy had her third treatment of SBRT; it took about 25 minutes and went ok.  It appears we have 2 more treatments with the last being Thursday.  We have a call with the Doctor tomorrow to confirm this.   

The non-routine was not good.  Two weeks ago Nancy had a biopsy on a spot on her left side.  I did not even put this in the blog as we thought it was no big deal.  It turns out the biopsy was positive...which means the breast cancer is now active in the skin.  So......tomorrow Nancy has a scan of her head (there is some swelling and pain in her right eye).  Wednesday, we have SBRT and more biopsies.....they are not fun.  Thursday we have a review with Dr Anthony and the final SBRT. 

So what is next.  Dr Anthony is working on Nancy entering a medical trial for a new drug that could/should treat her combination of symptoms.  There are other alternatives if we are not in the trials.  This is clearly a new hurdle.....

Nancy is scheduled to have next week off from all appointments.

Thanks for all your support.  I am sorry if I do not explain this well........but we have only preliminary information and we know you want to know what is going on.  Your support is fantastic.  Thank you.
