So I had enough on the ball the other day to remember to take a memory stick with me to the doctor.
In xray2, if you look about half way down, on the side away from my body, you will see a small circular dark shape, that is the original biopsy site. Overtop it, sort of rugged white, like a mountain,maybe, is the new bone growth, growing over the hole in the bone from the tumour as well as the biopsy. growth is healthy looking, and growing faster since he put the rod in. he suggests that the body feels that its safe to heal now that the rod is stabilizing things. this is all from the ortho surgeon.
the oncologist says that she is going to continue to monitor me, with mri's every 6 mths, but she is pleased, and really doesn't expect to see anything happening. if something does show up, it will be treated as a metastitized cancer, though. this means that they will do treatment, but won;t be so quick to cut out the cancerous parts. they would just try to slow the disease. but we are not going there. i am going to continue to do what i am doing, 4 packets of immunocal a day, vitamins, and a positive outlook.
