Ohio or Bust and Imaging Results!

  We had a great visit with my parents and puppy, Oley. We had some fantastic thunderstorms and watched an even more fantastic FIFA World Cup 3rd place match. A great visit, all in all. 

 We’re now headed the 207 miles to visit Steve’s family. A few days there before heading back East to my Bone Marrow Aspirate procedure for my SURMOUNT clinical trial. 

 I mentioned MyChart in my last post and it still did not disappoint. I received timely results for all of my labs, CT Scans, and Nuclear Bone Scan (correction from PET Scan). I thought it was a PET Scan, but it was clarified it was strictly a Nuclear Bone Scan that uses 1/3 the nuclear isotope and is more specific to finding bone metastases. 

 Findings: NO METASTATIC DISEASE FOUND!!!!

 This gives me the green light to proceed with the SURMOUNT Clinical Trial and if all goes well, I will never have to do the ABBY Clinical Trial. I will have a Bone Marrow Aspirate every 6 months for 3.5 years as long as no disseminated tumor cells are found in my bone marrow. That’s best case scenario!

 Grateful for a sunny day with less wildfire smoke!
