CT Scan Results - Going the wrong way

Scan results are in. Sadly they don't look good from what we can tell.

The report that goes with the scan states that the lesion in Alison's liver has grown to 8cm and that they have also identified an additional lesion in her hip that we did not know about previously (6cm).

What this means as far as treatment and next steps we won't know until Monday.

Prior to the test, the oncologist advised that if it appeared that the chemo wasn't working effectively, she still had a couple of other options to try. I guess that we get to find out soon.

I'll update again when we have some more news.

Thanks for checking in.

Are you sure their equipment wasnt shonky like the vet? Totally unfair. Good to know that there are some alternatives - just have to wait til Monday. All this waiting must be driving you guys crazy. At least Ali is actually feeling OK. For what its worth we are all with you and send our love and hugs

Personally I recommend a large bottle of scotch... A great cure-all and it'll target the liver directly!!

(Also, check for fingerprint smudges on the CT films... You never know!)
