Nothing Yet!

So we had the oncology appointment yesterday with the new doctor. She seemed nice but unfortunately, there is nothing new to report. Basically, the bottom line is there are cancer cells in the abdomen but the origin is not known so that’s the problem. Treatment can’t be figured out till that is done. It’s obviously very frustrating for us, especially Barclay, it’s his body.

So she said the colonoscopy could show something and at the same time will try and schedule an endoscopy to look at the upper GI. That could also prove important. The last piece of the puzzle is to do a PET scan as the hot spots show up and then after that would be another biopsy. He could be dead by the time all this is done. I mean it’s tough to just wait while these things are scheduled out. I’m sure we’ll soldier on but SHIT it’s not easy.

The drive down in the afternoon was awful. So much traffic!! Then parking at the cancer center is all valet because they are building a parking garage where the old parking was. So you definitely need to add time for that.
