Friday March 7th - Last Day?

Yesterday was very very full, as we met with both Sally's Lung Oncologist, and her Radiation Dr, completed tests, and had her 9th radiation treatment.. In summary, the day was very intense, and we were exhausted. Here is a quick summary of the day..

Dr Rudin, (lung oncologist), indicated that he found another tumor on Sally's 12th vertabrae, and asked Sally if she would be willing to have it treated before completing this series of radiation treatments. After consultation with Dr Kleinberg (radiation) we are scheduled for 5 treatments of the vertabrae, which begin today through next Thursday.

Dr Rudin outlined the choices for the next level of drug treatment for Sally and also prescribed new drugs for pain management including some accupuncture treatment for pain management.

Ron, Sue and Dan joined us yesterday, making the day an easier one for both Sally and I.

After tests and Sally's treatment today, we will return home for the weekend..

  3. Hi Sally & Dick,

    We just got back from the Sun. Afternoon gospel mtg. and were thinking of you.

    Sorry to hear you have to stay a bit longer, but hopefully it's for the better. Glad to hear they're looking at some other solutions to help suppress that pain.

    After reading through some of the other comments ... maybe they should look into cheesecake therapy!!
