Hi Everyone,
Well, as always...good and bad news.
Good news: it hasn't spread to her liver or lungs. GREAT!!
Bad news: the nodule has grown and now there are three more little ones behind it. He wants her to go to Karmonos because he knows a Dr. that's conducting a clinical trial and thinks it would be good. He is basically following the protocal for colon cancer. However, as he has said all along, her case is very different. Even though all the pathology results say it's colon, it doesn't act like it. IF by chance mom doesn't qualify for this trial, there are other options. There's some pill that he could give her and/or start treating her for ovarian and see what happens. He has emailed the Dr. at Karmonos and expects mom should hear from her in a few days.
Of course, mom is very upset. She didn't like the fast pace of Karmonos to begin with, and now has to go down there. She doesn't want to feel like 'just a number' or 'a guinea pig'. We're trying to keep her positive and remind her that it's a very good hospital and we have to keep trying different drugs to find the right combination.
I have only talked with mom. I may have more info. once I talk to Becky (she went with her). Mom tries very hard to understand it all, but between her "chemo brain" and just being overwhelmed, sometimes she misses some facts.
Thanks for all the love & prayers,
Beth
