I know that you, my readers, have not heard from me in while, but I have really been enjoying my strength and good health by being with my four grandchidren as much as possible, traveling to Arizona and next to Spain, playing golf, bridge and pickleball with lots of time left for walks with Sophie and good food and conversation with many friends.
However, in January I started feeling two new tumors near the site of one of my original big tumors on my hip which we thought had been detroyed by IL-2 and radiation. Scans and a visit with my oncologist yesterday confirmed these two new tumors and the disturbing evidence that the tumor in my neck looked not to have been affected by the IL-s or the high dose of radiation in November. But the good news is that the cervical tumor is no bigger than it was on the last scans.
What are the next steps? We are going to keep a watchful eye on the cervical tumor with an MRI in two months. The two subcutaneous tumors will be removed with surgery in April.
So, you see that I am still in need of your supportive hands and healing thoughts. When you think of it send them my way.
