Stability

Apologies for being a bad uninvited and unauthorized guest blogger...

The news is good. After two weeks of radiation and about four weeks of Votrient, scan showed the tumor in pelvis area is smaller, the one in chest is stable, and there are tiny (1 mm) increases in nodules in right kidney and one lung lobe since last scan in early July. More encouraging is that the pain has been on the wane for two weeks. The pain meds have been dropping out and the woman looks better, too. The insurance appeal even went through.

All told, a pretty nice ride on the roller coaster.

  1. Steve,
    I am so glad to read of Becca's improvement.
    What did it take to win the insurance appeal for the Votrient?
