So again insert witty title here..

We went to MDAnderson and got the report for Jason's 2 month scan. Well to put you all out of suspense we did get an all clear, there is nothing on the reports, markers, or physical exam to suggest a recurrence. However, because thats the way we roll, the pain that Jason has been having in his back for the past month is due to a fractured pelvis. Luckily it does not go all the way through. We cannot determine right now if it is due to progression of disease (recurrence) or the healing process. There are signs to point that Jason now has osteoporosis. Within the next 2 weeks we should be getting a bone scan and a bone density scan to determine what damage is done. We will then go to the Endocrinologist to determine the best course of treatment. In the mean time Jason will go to the Pain Management Clinic and we will see about getting his pain under control (again!). The node that was enlarged on his right lung on his last scan (the one we were going to keep an eye on) has resolved itself, but another has shown up. Like the last time all we can do is wait and see what the next scans tell because we really dont feel like going through having a ton of biopsies done and everything still point to waiting.
As for the lymphedema, Dr. Tannir agrees with me(go KIM) that it is from the radiation that Jason went through in 2008. It will be something that we will just have to deal with from time to time. Since it is not constant J will not have to be put on a diuretic.
So on one hand wahoo, we can breathe a tiny sigh of relief for now, on the other we have yet one more hurdle. Oh well, who would have thought that having a fractured pelvis would be good news!!

Out,
Kimmy
