Treatment Results

The radiologist’s report of the 23 March 2007 CT scan from Oasis of Hope Hospital has been translated from Spanish to English now. The results were compared with the CT scan taken 3 January 2007 and show no change in the liver tumor size. This is an improvement because the midpoint CT scan of 20 February 2007 showed a growth in tumor size as noted in a previous blog posting.

The most recent blood tests of 22 March 2007 also show liver enzyme levels have returned to normal range for the first time since last Fall. These levels were the very first indication that something was wrong and led to further testing revealing the existence of cancer.
This CT confirmed again no tumors on my pancreas.

We meet with the oncologist this week. He will review the results from Oasis of Hope Hospital and we will discuss with him what he recommends as a next step in treatment.

More later.
