Faye and I just got home and I am writing this quick update before running Lydia to a soccer game. Faye's PET and CT scans were this morning at 7:30, then we grabbed the results and took them straight over to a cardio-thoracic surgical expert at Presbyterian St. Lukes for a biopsy consultation. The metabolic activity has increased slightly, the CT shows more 'fullness' to the mass and there is a small additional hot spot in the same general area. Faye now has a biopsy scheduled at PSL for Tuesday morning, they'll go straight in through the sternum and will 'de-bulk' as much of the main mass as possible. So that's that, not what we had hoped for but pretty much what we expected. The good news is that Faye will be able to get the Brentuximab infusions here in Denver 'off trial', thanks (huge thanks) to some very good friends here with some very good connections. I found out about the Brentuximab last night while sitting at the Creek soccer banquet and cried with relief. The banquet was quite the event with varsity winning the state Championship the night before, and Gamelin's most awesome, most incredible video/slideshow which opened with the most amazing 'Light The Night' segment. Well gotta run, have a memorable - in a great way - weekend. ~Lolly
