Today was a particularly good day for us at MD Anderson. We met with the Oncologist that is "My Dr.", Dr. Blumenschein, to find out all that is going on in my case. We have met with the Oncologist, a Pulmonary doctor, a Thoracic Surgeon, and a Radiologist. They all want very much for things to fall correctly in place in order to perform Surgery on that lung because that is the ultimate treatment for Lung Cancer. These doctors do not take anything for granted. They want positive evidence of all factors. I have had another CT Scan , blood work, and pulmonary function tests, all of which were more advanced than those of Albuquerque. The thing now is that they are going to do a biopsy of the lymph nodes again because the results from ABQ are conflicting and not conclusive. The biopsy has to wait till I have been off the Coumadin for five days, so that test will not happen before Monday or Tuesday of next week. I am off Coumadin now. Then a couple of days later the results will tell us if there will be surgery or not. If there is to be surgery, I would have it done here at MD Anderson. If no surgery, then the treatment would be Radiation and Chemo and that would happen in ABQ.
So, probably no new news till mid next week. Thank you for your all your thoughts and prayers. - Stan
