Carol took Neil to see Dr. Mehta today. We were both very nervous because today he was going to get his bone marrow biopsy, MUGA scan and PET scan results, all which could have shown the cancer was in other areas or was more serious than originally thought (the MUGA scan was to see if his heart was healthy and could handle chemo). He's very sore from the portacath installation yesterday and wasn't feeling well. Fortunately, we got some good news. It appears the cancer is in fact isolated to his neck and chest, leaving him with a stage 2 diagnosis. His spleen is slightly enlarged, but no sign cancer in any of the organs and no sign of trouble elsewhere. Bone marrow biopsy is negative, so that's great...we were very worried about that one.
First chemo appointment is Friday at 9 a.m. He's looking forward to getting started and getting this whole thing over with ASAP!
