Well the night proved to be somewhat restless sleeping. But it was worth it. The CT scan showed no growth of the tumor. That is one full year since Joe started this chemo regiment with no growth. That is incredible news. The not so great news is that the pain and swelling he has been experiencing in his right leg might be due to a blood clot. Therefore, right after his chemo treatment today we will go to Duke south for him to have an ultrasound on his leg. If there is a blood clot, he will have to go on shots of blood thinner 2 times per day. Fun fun! I will update after we get the ultrasound results. Even with this "glitch", we are reveling in the no growth of the tumor.
Update to come soon.
Ultrasound was done at 11:48am and we are now out. There is no blood clot but we don't know what the issue might be yet. The ultrasound technician couldn't come right out and say, but he did tell Joe that if it was a blood clot he would have to go back over to the clinic to see the doctor. Then he told Joe he could go home, which means no clot. Maybe it is just a pulled muscle in his calf or something. I'm sure if anything does show on the ultrasound that is of any concern, the doctor will let us know. Right now we will revel in the CT scan results and relax!
Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers!!!!
