Preliminary Results: CT Scan
Posted by stephanie on September 2nd, 2007
Friday was a scheduled off day (no chemo), I had lab work and only needed an Epogen shot. My platelets and WBC were well within range. We have a preliminary read on the CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis but not the PET Scan. The only things seen on the CT that were abnormal were some areas in my thoracic & cervical spine and of course my liver. They say that if the spots on my spine is metastatic bone cancer it is very responsive to treatment. So before anyone gets too worried or excited they are scheduling a MRI of my spine and total body bone scan early this week; pending the results we will have biopsies done.
We are waiting for the latest copies of old scans to arrive from Houston. It appears someone might have dropped the ball on this task. With the holiday weekend here the earliest we can get the scans here is Thursday. My parents have decided to drive to Houston and pick up the scans themselves. This means the team here in Fort Worth will have images for comparison by late Tuesday. My parents are SO awesome. Our next meeting with the team is Friday. Friday is also a chemo day and I will be getting all three drugs. Next update will most likely be Friday or Saturday ( Sept 7th or 8th). Well that’s all for now, off to church.
Love you,
Stephanie
