What the Dr. Beinart knows:
· He is positive it is cancer (Dad asked just to make sure)
· The cancer did not come from the kidney, prostate or any other organ
· It is lung cancer that has metastasized
· The tumors that have spread to the bones are the type that leach calcium out of the bone, making them extremely weak and brittle
What will happen today:
· A port will be put in place
· Chemo will start today
Chemotherapy:
· The chemo drug will be very similar to what Mom had
· There will be 3 – 4 treatments
· The treatments will be approximately 3 – 4 weeks apart
· After the treatments, they will re-test to see what the results are on the tumor
· Side effects will be similar to those Mom had
We are thinking and praying for Gary and the family. Kenny & Donna Korenek & family
ReplyDeleteThis has all been such a shock. Wayne and I have been praying hard and will continue to pray as your family travels this journey. Please know that you are all loved. If there is anything we can do just say the word. Wayne and Lee Ann Freytag
