Blood Test Results

Hello All.

Yesterday, mom found out the results of the blood test. The test was looking for whether or not the EGFR mutation of the tumors had changed into another type of mutation. The blood test came back negative, meaning none of the many mutations the blood test was testing for were identified. There is still a possibility that it could be a different type of mutation, and for this she will need a CT guided lung biopsy. The doctor is going to schedule a subsequent CT scan and possibly a biopsy for the beginning of August. Mom will be on a higher dose of Tarceva in the meantime and the CT scan will be compared to the past one she had on June 6. We’re praying that the CT will show that the tumors have shrunk, which could mean that the biopsy wouldn’t be necessary. But in the meantime we need to pray. God has a plan. Come August I’ll check in to tell you the results.

Your thoughts, prayers, and support are much appreciated.

P.S. – Today my parents celebrated 42 years of marriage. I think that kind of commitment is pretty special, don’t you? 🙂
