Judy gets her port inserted on August 21 and will begin chemo on August 23. We met with the surgeon, Dr. Kanthan, today to discuss whether surgery is a good option now to deal with the tumor in Judy's pelvic area. Dr. Kanthan recommended not pursuing surgery now because chemo would be delayed for at least 6 weeks. If chemo begins now, the benefit will be: the lesions in the lungs and the tumor in the pelvic area will be attacked at the same time. Furthermore, chemo may blast any malignant cells that are present in Judy's body.
Judy continues to feel well. We are off to the lake this weekend. Judy has her 58th birthday on Friday, August 16.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and life-giving love.
