I guess it’s Wednesday today. This is turning into a long week. Here’s what I know.
Day begins early and spent most of the day waiting for reports from the liver biopsy. Meanwhile sodium continues to get better, which is a good sign. Several good visitors. Finally the oncologist arrives about 7 PM and announces that the biopsy results are Stage 4 small cell lung cancer already spread to the liver. He explained that each cell will continue to spread and the prognosis for no intervention is 3 -5 months! Can we say that is practically tomorrow all of a sudden? He is really kind and explains the options. The upside is that they can begins with the initial steps while I’m here in the hospital which will allow a faster turn-round time but most of the time will be spent as an outpatient. That will give me 4-5 years. Treatable but not curable! I’ve told them to begin. Hope it’s the correct decision. Pray for me.
