8/17/11

My last CT scan was great. The tumors have begun shrinking again. The radiologist saw what he thought was a gall stone and my oncologist suggested that I have it checked out before it became an emergency situation. His thought was that it could be dissolved with oral medication. I saw a GI doctor earlier this week after a weekend with abdominal pain and he performed an endoscopy this morning. Before he started he told me that he viewed the CT scan and what the radiologist saw was just a tiny spot of calcification,nothing to worry about. The endoscopy showed esophogitis, a type of acid reflux. I should get relief from acid reducing medication,no big deal at all. So, back to business as usual,chemo every other week and praising God that it is still working so well.
