Post CT Scan - Good news! Final treatment plan set...

Ok...so we are getting close to real time now. On Wednesday, 19NOV14, we saw the medical oncologist again to review the CT scan results that showed no other evidence of cancer elsewhere in her body! So now we have to wait for the clinical trial acceptance before she can start chemo. This should come either next week Tuesday or Wednesday, and if it doesn't come then, they will start her on chemo on the following Monday (a week from tomorrow)....Email to family:

Hey all!

Good news to share! CT Scan showed no further evidence of spreading cancer anywhere else in the body cavity! Yea!

So now we move forward with treatment as originally planned…she will have the port insertion surgery tomorrow morning, and then we stand by and wait for final word on whether we are part of this clinical trial or not. That should come early next week as the biopsy samples from Friday just arrived in Deutschland…which means a likely start to chemo either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week (25 or 26 November). If final approval doesn’t come by then, Ally will start chemo on 01DEC14 for sure.

She does need more biopsies done a) for clinical trial reasons, and b) to evaluate the other breast…so that is scheduled for next week Monday.

Wish us luck tomorrow…we’ll need it for when Linda sees the port and realizes what is happening.

Love you all!
