They say that no news is good news, and I know that my last writing explained that my Husband's aggressive Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer was in remission, but again, stage IV, and very aggressive, so I've done my very best to remain in good spirits knowing that nothing is promised, but still...
As part of his treatment (yes, he’s still on chemo) he recently had a PET scan, and the Oncologist called in the late afternoon this past Thursday (12-16) and told him that one of his lymph nodes is growing. It’s currently over 3cm, so he goes in next week for another biopsy on the 23rd. My Husband isn’t nearly as worried as I am, but I tend to worry much sooner and much more than him anyway, and I’m already thinking he’ll probably get more radiation (UGH!) or maybe heavier chemo.
I haven't mentioned this to our friends because why ruin their Christmas/Holiday Season with more potentially bad news? As it is, Our beloved dog and my Support Animal, Donna, died while we were away visiting his family in November, so I'm working on training a new Pitbull that we named Panda Moe-Neeum that we rescued from the pound. She's 5 years old, and VERY enthusiastic, so much so that we are covered in bruises from her love.
Anyway, I'll post more as we find out. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and understand that answers are far more important to us than negative results that will only lead to MORE poking, prodding, and testing.
