Part 2

After a couple years of Stability my cancer exploded more than 30% since the last scan in early July. I am still hospitalized (4 months and a week?) so they did a biopsy to test for potential success for immunotherapy.  Mixed feelings as I have been wanting the test. 


Low blood sugar when I have to fast for tests (no shocker there).  


Hope to be back in rehab soon

Biopsy #3

 They squeezed me in for biopsy number three today. I hate waiting. Next they will do testing on the biopsy samples to see if I have the potential for immunotherapy to give good results. I have been wanting the immunotherapy testing so that’s a positive thing.

Shit shat ist geshotten

 I used to conjugate Crap in German like this. 

I learned today that there was significant growth on my tumor. I haven’t even gotten out of the hospital yet. Working on scheduling a CT guided biopsy to look for other treatment options (immunotherapy). Stay tuned. I’m licking my wounds.

 After much trepidation I agreed to undergo a endoscopy.  They think they found the source of the bleeding and fixed it. We will see if it worked or not. First time under general anesthesia (propofol) and hopefully the last   Still can’t moon walk even with one glove  

They are still failing on blood draws.. Not sure why they send the B team first. I have bruises on bruises and still have 3 IVs. 

Slept like a log all afternoon.  Not sure it made up for last night yet.  No idea when I shift back to Mission rehab.
