It has been two weeks from our last infusion adventure and today Tom is back in waiting for the second. As an added bonus he will have a Doppler scan, a profusion scan, an IV, give blood, and listen to his neighbors argue about shopping at Walmart vs Sears. (She likes Walmart, he thinks Sears has better parking).
Yesterday Tom had his first post radiation MRI. It showed a rather significant mass on his right side. The right as you may recall has had radiation only (as opposed to the left which has had two surgeries and radiation). The MRI makes edema, radiation necrosis, and tumor all look the same. So in spite of all the technology we have no idea what is going on in the big ol' area.
At first we thought surgery was coming along quickly to get rid of the mass but now it seems we will slow down a bit and review the profusion scan to see if we know exactly what is inside and what to remove. The scan analysis will not be complete for a week or so which means a decision on going under the knife is still a few weeks away.
Well the neighbor has moved from Doritos to Cheetos which resulted in a huge belch. Once again I am reminded how $100 for a private room is a really good investment. Tom is snoozing so I am going down for the only comfort "food" I can really count on: Tall cafe mocha, non-fat, no whip extra hot.
Please keep Tom in your prayers.
Love Theresa
