No chemo today. Blakes been having consistent pain so Dr. Whisenant spoke with Blake's surgeon Dr. Kim. They decided it would be best for Dr. Kim to take a look at Blake to see if he thought surgery may be an option for pain relief. Dr. W really thinks he may have some scar tissue that's causing the pain. Some of you will remember the horrible pain he had in May 2010? That ended up being scar tissue.
We saw Dr. Kim this afternoon and he thinks it's tumor pain. Ugh. He's going to do a colonoscopy on Monday to double check something that was on the scan. In the scan, they couldn't tell if the mass was IN or ON the colon. He thinks he'll be able to see it directly or it may be visible through the colon wall. If the mass is IN the colon, he may be able to remove it during the procedure.
I'll let you know how it goes on Monday.
In the meantime, Live Laugh & Love!
Kathy
