It’s been a big week. I went into the hospital on Tuesday morning for my 3 month follow-up MRCP. I knew that I would have to wait a few days to receive the results. There have been some new symptoms. There have been some new questions. Are the symptoms drug related? Perhaps stress related? Or are the tumors growing and causing problems. Any questions would remain unanswered until this morning’s oncology appointment.
The biggest news is also the best news. The MRCP showed NO signs of growth and NO new tumors. The disease is stable. The new symptoms appear to be a side effect of a new medication and can be addressed by changing the medication. Needless to say, this news was an early Christmas gift.
So what’s next? We will continue to watch on a three month interval. I’ll be scanned again in March and go from there. In the meantime, the next three months will be three worth celebrating!
Thank you to everyone who has been praying for this result. Thank you again to all who have offered temporal assistance to our family. It’s a blessing to enjoy the support of so many friends, family, colleagues, and beyond!
