dchurchi Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Alan had a long appointment with Dr. this afternoon. 1st as Alan's recurrent cancer is now stable and the fact he has such a tough time with chemo, chemo has been stopped for now. Alan's Dr. does not see benefit in putting Alan through more chemo at this time. I believe his weight of 134 is also a factor Alan's Dr. does want his lung tapped for the pleura effusion asap, by the end of the week if possibe, but with insurance red tape may be 1st of next week. The cells will be tested and depending on what is found will determine the next course of action. At least Alan should start to feel better with all the fluid out of his lung. The "new spot" on is chest wall will be montitored for now. So exactly as the scans showed, a mixed bag of results. I will update once Alan has his lung tapped and all the cytology reports are in.
