Another appointment today. I asked about what our next step would be if my numbers continue to go up and the spot on the scans continues to get bigger. Dr Werner said that if that happens, they will look into doing a biopsy of the spot to see if it is cancerous or not. Also, my scan next month will be done without the IV contrast. That will make it a little more difficult to see things on the scans but since they have a spot that they are keeping an eye on, they should still be able to see it in the scans. They also said that they have the new protocol for the study drug written up and sent to the NIH (or the FDA - I can't remember which now) for approval. That will allow us to do the scans less frequently as well as doctor visits if we want to.
