It seemed a little odd this time going down on a Monday and going in on Tuesday. Because they were closed for the holiday, CTRC was busier than usual on Tuesday trying to catch up. My CT scans were scheduled for 8:50. We are glad when they are early like that. By about noon time, we were sitting and talking to Dr. Mita about the results. The largest of the tumors had grown a centimeter since my last scans eight weeks earlier, while the others were virtually unchanged. She was concerned about the largest one, because it is deep in the left lung and near the heart. She explained that if it continues to grow, it could cause some problems with the arteries leading into the heart.
She said that she would be conferring with colleagues about whether either radiation to shrink it or surgery to remove it would be a viable option. Either would normally be an option, but because of its proximity to the heart, she was not ready to commit to either as viable. She plans to have all the facts for us to discuss during our next appointment. I will stay on the LDE225 pills at least until then.
We continue to trust in the LORD. His good plan for us has not changed. He will work things out for our good and for His glory. We continue to covet your prayers for all of us as we face decisions in the coming days.
Love you all.
