Good news! A non-diagnostic image was taken during my radiation appointment on June 15th. It told the docs that the 3 cancerous tumors are responding to the treatment. Hip-Hip-Horray! After 8 days of treatment is is a very positive sign!
Talk with Dr L on Friday

Biopsy #2 Continued
The actual procedure part of Biopsy #2 went much better than Biopsy #1. The smart & equally annoyed with the schedule delay, Dr Filner was able to get “material” from both the infected lung and lymph node. This material will … Continue reading
