Rory called me to try to share some information. I am totally not keeping up with everything she is telling me right now. After her liver MRI this afternoon (more details on that later, from her) and with the bone biopsy results available to the doctor, the oncologist decided to call and talk today even though we're meeting with her again tomorrow.
Good news: MRI (liver) is clean
Bad news: There is cancer in the bone
Good news: It's her old breast cancer
Seems odd to think that breast cancer is good news, but this really does simplify things going forward. Rory will update or edit or reply to this with more of the details, but it sounds like the main treatment for now will be some new medications. Unfortunately, one of them is $10k PER MONTH! Yeah there will be some "discussions" on that when we meet with the doctor tomorrow.
This comes after Kylan had teeth pulled in the morning to prepare for coming orthodontic work. What a day!
Update from Rory on Facebook:
We have been waiting for some test results. We still have an extra long dr appt tomorrow, but at this point, feel like we can share. Cancer has been found in my pelvic bone. It is same cancer as before. My Dr is hopeful that she has go-to drugs that hopefully will keep me from full on chemo, at least for now. She is hopeful and happy at the confirmation of this cancer type vs having to fight something different. She feels very positive and called personally to let me know. I am so blessed to have good drs. I know that this will be a fight, but it will be a fight that we can win - again.
