The El Camino Hospital Cancer center has become our most visited place since Jan. 2014. We come here three days every two weeks, to do blood lab, to see our oncologist and NP, to receive chemo, to get Neulasta, and to get scans. However, this week we have made a few more trips because Gwohann's right fingers have been feeling numb. Our integrative radiologist is certain that the Mediport did not block his nerves. A sonogram on his right arm reveals no abnormalities, now we are waiting for his brain MRI result this Friday. Thus far, I don't see any unusual behaviors from Gwohann, except that he can't stop eating watermelon :-), so I am expecting a clear MRI. We will explore other possible causes afterwards.
Chemo went well, Gwohann had a good nap. The blood report is very good. Every value is within normal range which is amazing, and the best part is that the tumor marker CEA continues to drop! Praise God! The result makes the suffering feel worthwhile.
Powered by Dexamethasone, he went to attend our church board meeting in the evening. Although I am worry, I let him go, because I know he is choosing life over cancer.
Next CT scan will be on Oct. 8. We pray and expect a good result!
