Carrie's CT Scan Results

After the scan and meeting with her doctor, here is what we know. The mass that is located on the IVC vein has not grown any but it also has not gotten any smaller. The two masses located on her left adrenal gland have grown some but they have necrotic(dead) centers. Since this is the first time our doctor has dealt with this treatment she doesn't know if the dead centers are a good sign or not. She is consulting with the doctor at MD Anderson about this. If the dead centers are not good news we will then be looking at the possibility of doing a different type of chemo, or radiation or the chance of a minor surgery to remove the two masses. As for good news, Carrie's blood counts are up from the last time that she had a blood test. For now we are waiting to hear back from our doctor and her chemo treatments are postponed/cancelled until further notice. We hope to hear something by the weekend. Stay tuned for more updates.
