Life without a rudder
Jess and I just had our latest consult with my interventional radiologist. By video chat. In a gas station parking lot on the way back home from Port Angeles. She was able to give us good news that we'd already heard about two weeks ago. I think that she was a bit surprised that we weren't happier, but my local oncologist had already shared good news. But good news is still not a cure. My cancer marker numbers are still elevated, and have decreased since the previous test. I don't know if that is because I have active cancer, or if it's because I have a load of dead cancer tissue just hanging out in my gut. But the numbers are still trending the right way. One thing that I learned is that she (Dr. Kim) is going to meet with the brain trust and try to determine whether they think that resection is still on the table or not. I was of the impression that it would no longer be necessary, but it's still a possibility. I'd rather NOT be away from work for any length...
