EUS results

Hi all - The procedure for the EUS was completed today with no complications. The result of the findings are still not all finalized, but basically as we understand it, things look pretty much the same as the last exam. The tumor near the aorta vein has shrunk slightly though which is good. Dr. Mallery took several tissue samples and a fluid sample of the tumor, we will await results on these. There is no sign of distant metastasis (spreading of the disease).

Next appointment is with Dr. Greeno on June 14th, earlier that same day Scott will have a CT scan.

We are hoping for "all clear" on the biopsy and a push on toward surgery.

We are not planning too much for this weekend, Scott is resting now, I think they gave him a little extra sleepy time drug this time around.

Scott & Steve are planning a fishing trip next week at Steve and Judy's place, wish for good weather and biting fish!!

Have a good weekend everyone!!
