Long day but we are home.
So where do I start? The X-ray showed some tumor growth. Not sure yet if it is new growth or the tumors they saw before are growing. A ct scan was scheduled for later in the day to get a better picture.
We do not have results of that yet.
Cody's bloodwork was good and the platelets are up. We will start the chemo in the morning. That is good news.
The bone marrow biopsy was performed. Cody is sore but doing ok. They are looking to see how the marrow looks, is it just worn out? Or is it some kind of leukemia or are there Ewing's cells there? We will find all this out in a few days or early next week.
Cody's dr is still hopeful that this drug will help and that a clinical trial will open. He was very understanding and compassionate today. He did the biopsy himself and gave Cody a hug when he saw him walking out. We discussed other options and other places to go. He knew of the dr that I had researched that is from MD Anderson but is in NC. He said if he knew a place for us to go, he would tell us and I feel he would. I asked about supplements and he wants us to hold off until we see how the chemo works. I really feel we are in the best hands and that we are on the right path.
Praying for a miracle…..
I am glad that you have compassionate doctors who are looking for the best options for Cody. I continue to hope that this will again be knocked out and like the phoenix that he is, Cody will rise. Love and hugs to you both,
