Well CMM's newest PET scan is in. Shows some slight growth in the tumor, and now the radiologist is insisting that the fractured rib on the other side (from our accident in October) is a metastatic lesion. We'll see what the oncologist has to say about it on Friday. But his cough has been worse the past month too. Clearly there will be no miraculous tumor shrinkage with his current drug so we will need to start discussing what the next step might be.
Meanwhile a favorite patient of mine - a young man whose mother worked in the grocery store with my oldest son when he was a teen and was very kind to my son, I was able to return the favor 12 years ago and help her son - was diagnosed this week with an aggressive lymphoma. F-ing cancer, I've had enough!
