Thank you all for your prayers and support. Unfortunately, the initial results of the lymph node biopsy yielded a false negative and last week we found out that the cancer has returned. Dr. Trippett explained that since the original tumor was so large, a few cancerous cells split off and migrated to the lymph nodes in his groin. They went dormant for a few months and then reactivated. She said that it was only a few cells, and that his prognosis is very good. He will have chemo Tuesday-Thursday, get a 2 week break, have 3 more days of chemo, and if that is successful, he will then have to have a bone marrow transplant, followed by possible radiation, and another round of chemo.
Having been through this before does not make it any easier. During this difficult time we ask that if you would like to reach out to us, you may do so through email and not by phone. I may or may not respond, but the emails are sent directly to my phone, so I will always be able to read them.
Thank you,
Adina
