Well, unfortunately we are not done with this thing. We learned yesterday that, although the radiation did shrink the tumor, it is not gone, so we continue on this journey. We feel discouraged, but know there is a reason for all of this. Officially, I have a Solitary Plasma Cytoma in the Clavis (bone) of the Sphenoid Sinus (How many of you can say that?). I will go back to the Cancer Center tomorrow for additional blood tests to double check and make sure this thing has not spread, then next Monday we are on our way down to Ogden for another PET scan to see if the tumor is growing. If it is not, the doctor will just watch it closely. If it is growing I will be sent to a specialist in Salt Lake who may be able to remove it. The problem is that it is quite far back in the head in a very precarious place (exactly between the optical nerves). What an adventure this life is turning out to be. Trying to keep the faith. Love you all.
