I got a call from Josh around 11 this morning with an update from his meeting with his doctor. The scans showed further reduction in size of the two tumors in his chest, but given Josh's lingering side effects from the 6 rounds of chemo, the doctor recommends giving Josh more of a break before hitting him with more rounds.
The other news is that the scans Josh had taken over the past two days showed another something suspicious in his upper chest/neck area. But the spot didn't light up in the PET scan from several weeks ago.
So next steps: a biopsy to find out if the mass is malignant and surgery to have it removed if it is (it could be just a cyst).
Josh gets a dose of his bone-strengthening drug, Zometa, this afternoon (only a 15 minute IV infusion) and then he and the kids are heading home.
The cats and I will be happy to have them back!
