CAT Scan Results

Wednesday 3/31 Stan only had three-fourths of his chemo because his blood platelets were low. After Chemo, Stan and Lila drove to New York to visit with Tom, Erin and family. He had a wonderful hike with Tom in the hills around Tom's home. Monday 4/5 he had a CAT scan. Today, Wednesday 4/7 he met with his surgeon. His surgeon said the tumor in his liver is continuing to grow and that another tumor has appeared in front of the larger tumor. He has been referred to a radiologist to proceed with the chemo-embolization. This is where high doses of chemo are put directly into the tumor. His oncologist has canceled his regular chemo due to the upcoming chemo-embolization and that he feels that the chemo hasn't seemed to help.
