CT scan results

CT scan results back-
We got the results back- not horrible but not good either.
The cancer has not spread to any other places/ organs that we know of. The cancer that is in there is growing. Ruth has a lot of discomfort in her abdomen; the fluid is starting to accumulate again as it had before her surgery in January. Her belly is very distended (enlarged). They talked about going in and removing the fluid however it is in 3 different places and it would only giver her temporary relief, it is not out of the question but now a question of benefit vs. risk. The chemo that her doctor here wants to try is one that was tested with the chemo sensitivity tests after the surgery and it was not effective so that is still a possibility, another possibility is doing clinical trial chemo but that would probably need to be done down in Denver. Ruth has an appointment down in Denver on Monday with her surgeon and will discuss further options with him. She mentioned to me this week that she feels like she has cancer- with that being said we are thankful for how relatively good she has felt and how much she has been able to do till this point and hope for better days ahead.

Thanks for your prayers!!
