CT scan results

During my Zometa infusion, I chatted with my NJ oncologist about my scan results and obtained a copy of my report. As expected, there was growth in all my lung mets, and there are two small spots in my liver that are "suspicious for metastatic disease." I am not going to concern myself with these two lesions, unless they continue to appear after the first cycle of the clinical trial.

Speaking of which, I have not yet heard from Dr. Maki's office about the start of this trial. I assume they are still awaiting the results of my tumor testing. I was hoping to hear something today so I could start tomorrow, but unless they call in the next few hours, I don't think that's going to happen. Looks like a potential start date of December 15.

It's hard to believe, but it was four years ago today that I had my bone biopsy, which eventually led to my diagnosis and this long, strange trip I've been on. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Your companionship has made the trip much easier to handle.

Hope you all had a good weekend and have a great week!
