Results are in...treatment plan

Kathy saw Dr. O'Brien (Oncologist) this morning to review the CT scan and start chemotherapy. The liver biopsy is malignant. They also have to assume that the lungs are malignant as well. (a lung biopsy is too invasive, the nodule grew, and it is common for colon cancer to travel to the lungs) So...with all that said she will start chemotherapy today. She will go in for treatment every 2 weeks. After treatment she will go home with a pump for 2 days. In 2 months, or after 4 treatments they will do another scan to see how the liver and lungs are reacting to the medication. She will meet with the liver and colon surgeon next week. They will consult with Dr. O'Brien and decide when to do surgery. It is unknown right now if they will even do surgery on her liver. She is in good spirits and has a positive outlook, she is putting all of her trust in her doctors hands...and we feel like she is in the best hands possible.
