Precise Pathology is what we are looking for. As of this morning the pathology was still not complete. The Petscan results were available and showed additional bone metastases areas located on both hips and near the T7 vertebrae. The good news is there appears to be no adrenal spread or other major organs affected at this time.
While our time with Doctor Heyer did not reveal all that we hoped it would we did receive new important information and we have a plan for the next week and that's enough for now.
Monday I will begin using a new drug treatment called Xgeva. Xgeva is used to help prevent bone fractures and other skeletal conditions in
people with tumors that have spread to the bone. This is an injection that will be given once a month in the medical oncologist office. There are some side effects to this drug, but the benefits are believed to far outweigh the negatives.
Thursday I will begin the radiation treatment to start shrinking the skull based tumor. As of now I am scheduled to have radiation five days a week for four weeks.

Once we have the full pathology the treatment plan will be updated to address specific type of primary Cancer.
I have so much more I want to share tonight, but I'm exhausted and my pain is on the rise. Look for a new post tomorrow.
