No News is DAMN Good News!
I just wanted to leave a quick note about my appointment today. I am happy to report that my bloodwork is generally clear (I still have low red and white blood cell counts, but they’re presumably coming up). The really big news is that there was no appreciable change in my CT scan. As a result, I am done with the hospital and Dr. Kauh until June. YEAH!
I would like to ask you to send your positive thoughts and energy to Cindy, a woman from my pancreatic support group I mentioned previously. Cindy was diagnosed a month before me, had her Whipple procedure in April, and back in January went for her 2-month follow-up visit. Unfortunately, she found out that 3 tumors had developed on her liver. Luckily, she was able to undergo some radio frequency treatment which successfully dealt with those tumors. MaryBeth and I ran into her at the hospital today and we found out that she has an additional 8 tumors growing in a variety of different places (along her lymph system, in her digestive system, etc.). She is now undergoing palliative therapy and she and her husband are trying to wrap their heads and hearts around her current situation. Please keep them in your thoughts.
Thank you!
Merle
