Hello, friends. I’m sorry this news update isn’t as bright as we hoped for. Yesterday I had my MRI, then met with Dr Henson for his analysis and guidance. Not only is the contrast section continuing to grow, there are a couple other spots above the tumor’s center which are showing contrast as well. In response Dr Henson and two other doctors at Swedish are scheduling me to take a five day treatment plan of “cyberknife” therapy, which is like radiation but more directly focused at the growing bits. I’ll also be quitting the chemotherapy as the growth shows my chemo isn’t effective as intended.
In addition to cyberknife we’re evaluating some clinical trial options which seem to have some positive results. As my upcoming treatments get defined and scheduled I’ll post another update here.
In the meantime we’re also living our life! Helping the kids with school work, playing games with them, watching The Office episodes with Kali :), the simple things sure brighten our days. And we’re grateful for your daily precious support. Be well, February is just around the corner.
