Hello all....
I wanted to update what is going on with me.
A week ago today, I saw Dr. Larson, my medical oncologist. After talking with her and listening to her ideas, we decided to try something new. I have known since the beginning of this journey that hormones feed this type of cancer. Dr. Larson wants to try shutting down my ovaries and see what effect this will have. She gave me the Eligard injection and I will see her again in 6 weeks. (Eligard is used for prostate cancer)
Insurance approved the CyberKnife procedure. I will have the "fiducials" (markers) put in on this Friday. I have to be at Brookwood at 7 AM. They will inject the markers, which are tiny gold seeds. It will take 3 needles to get this done. I'm not all that crazy about 3 needles going in my lung, but this is best. This CyberKnife is amazing!
I will see Dr. Tincher (radiation oncologist) on Monday, the 21st. They will do the planning scans that day. I will start the actual treatments soon thereafter.
I will keep everyone posted!
Thanks!
