I emailed oncologist in Pittsburgh this p.m. This is my email and his reply:
I was at Dr. Simon's office this a.m. for blood work. She has not got any results from my tests yesterday at Shadyside.
Are you able to pull them up for me? Am anxious as you know, and this coming week I'm scheduled for a treatment.
Thanks, Dr. Brufsky. I appreciate all you do for me long distance. Yesterday my last test ended at 2 p.m. ish. Was exhausted and a bit too late to see you. Sorry.
Dr. Simon said to contact you. I can take that 2 ways. Either she truly doesn't have results or the results are bad. And I don't want to not know for the weekend.

The brain lesion has increased a bit (very slightly) and there may be another very small one. I think a gamma knife may be needed. There are still two lesions in the lungs which are slightly larger. Are you scheduled to see Dr. Burton soon?

Contact Burton about the cyberkinfe. I would continue the same chemo as the lesions in the lung really are not that much larger (only minimally)

I have contacted the radiation oncologist. Now waiting for plan of attack.

Hi Jane: Glad that Moe is with you. Try and get some rest and I wish you a peaceful and restful weekend. Hang in there WonderWoman!
Love Ya,
Deb :-}
I hope you still have that mask if you have to have the cyber knife again...I remember the day it was made for you. That was such a long day for you. Hope you get some rest, for your body and your mind. Stay warm......
Love you
Eileen
Hi Jane! That cyber knife procedure was successful for you in the past - I'm sure it will be once again!
I'm thankful your lung lesions haven't changed enough to warrant change in your course of chemo.
Sheryl is very straightforward - I'm sure if she had the results she would have told you.
Say HI to Moe! Love, JK
Jane,
What a week you've had. I'm glad Dr. Brufsky got back with you. And, you have a plan of action. Of course, we'd love to have those scans show "nothing", right? But, it's good to know you had good results with the cyberknife before. Just need it to do its magic again. Prayers, love and peace are flowing your way. Love, Ann
Jane, Isn't it frustrating when the dr. and medical community don't send reports, test results, script refills, etc. etc. All a part of the process i guess, but indeed frustrating. Anxious to hear about your "plan". Til then, prayers and love sent your way. Linda
Jane,
It was so nice to see Moe today. I am glad she was there with you to get all this new info. Nothing like having your own private nurse. You are so lucky to have such a great family!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you set up your new game plan. Love ya
