On Friday, February 28th my MD Anderson PA called at 5:30 p.m. to go over all of my first initial scans that were completed when I was diagnosed, and had now been reviewed by the Radiology Chair at MD Anderson. The Chair did not see any invasion in my chest wall, and noted that they believe the 5mm spot in my left breast was a benign lymph node. However, they did note that one of my lymph nodes did appear to be positive under my right arm. As you recall from my previous blogs, my Lubbock doctor's also suspected this, but did not take any further investigation. My lymph nodes on current tests are now showing to be clear, so I sincerely hope that I do not have to endure 6 full weeks of radiation.
Still a concern is my 10th rib showing up on the bone scan. The Chair of the radiology department did declare that there is something there. At this point we are unaware if it is cancer or a prior injury. Hopefully, a prior injury! My next bone scan has been scheduled at MD Anderson for next Wednesday, March 19th. I will keep everyone posted on how this trip goes.
