The scan showed the cancer has returned. Not as bad as I had thought, one mass in the back draining into the lymph nodes causing a large mass in the right groin lymph nodes. There is still a significant amount of pain in the lower spine so doctor has ordered a MRI, increased pain meds and is hoping it all goes away. I'm fine as long as I keep flat, but that makes it a little hard to live life, dontcha think? She has also ordered some radiation to hopefully shrink the tumors which should help with the pain. I have the best oncologist in the world! She is also going to check with the trial that we were thinking of going to to check on compassionate use of their drug so I can receive treatment right here at home instead of Chicago. Now that is a win win for everyone!!!

I'll take prayers from anyone who wants to offer them. :)
