It's Sunday night and I find myself reviewing everything we were told during Jim's oncology appointment at Washington University/Barnes' Center for Advanced Medicine....
The news was not bad... the physician was "delighted" to know Jim has survived for this long... He told Jim, "Most of my patients with your kind of lung cancer would not be here today talking with me.." He was pleased with his treatment with Alimta and Tarceva.
We were relieved to know that appointments were being arranged for this coming week for his vision and for his tumor on the thoracic spine. Each specialist, a radiation oncologist and a neuro-oncologist will evaluate him on Thursday. The Parkway hotel is connected by a sky-walk!
Tomorrow, Monday, we will keep the appointment with Dr. Disai at the Cancer Center in Springfield to officially co-ordinate his treatment and future care...
We have so many questions still, but the weight loss and decreased vision worry both of us.
Blessings....Great, loving neighbors, Bonnie and Denny & family who brought wonderful deserts to our home tonight!
