Just Waiting

Nancy had a pulmonary angiogram performed last Wednesday because she had been experiencing some pain just above her heart at night.   The doctors didn’t think she had a blood clot (since she is on Lovanox) but wanted to be certain.  They did not find a blood clot, but did discover a small nodule in her upper left lung.  They told us not to be concerned because once they get the blood work results and confer with Dr. Koenig, they will begin chemotherapy treatment that will attack the liver tumor, the new one in the lung and the dermatomy0stis – all at the same time.  Nancy is also now using a patch behind her ear (the same that they use for motion sickness on cruises) and it seems to be helping with the nausea.  In the meantime, we wait for the blood work results.  We are both anxious to begin the treatments so those tumors can begin to shrink and/or dissolve.  – Kevin
