Really, Really...sometime I wonder how much more I can take! The news from last Friday’s CT/PET and MRI scans is both good and bad. The good news is that there are no new tumors detected.
The bad news is that the neurosurgery did not remove all of the tumor in the C6 vertebrate in my neck and there is an area of new tumor activity in the part of the cervical bone that is left. This probably means that I will need much more extensive neurosurgery to try and remove all the tumor. My oncologist is conferring with my team of oncology surgeon, neurosurgeon, radiation oncologist, and immune therapy specialist to brainstorm what therapies we should pursue.
I must admit that I was really disappointed with this news. I had my hopes up this time that I would be free of tumors for a while, but the news could have been much, much worse and for that I am grateful.
