Thanks to all of you reaching out to see what’s going on – I just wanted to post a ‘quickie’ to fill you in…no musings or whatevers, just the facts!
- Pain and symptoms are more under control with new steroid regimen and start of intra-spinal chemo treatment on Tues. Legs are weak and slow, but I’m still upright.
- Planning to do every-other-day intra-spinal treatments until spinal fluid tests come back “clean”.
- Got additional MRI images this morning of remainder of spine and brain to see if the nerve/spinal infiltration is localized to the very lower portion of the spine. Should have results tomorrow or Monday.
- Based on results of additional diagnostics and how things go with our short-term plan, will research and map out mid- and longer-term plans over next week or so.
And that’s that for now. T&J home tomorrow for the weekend!
