Today, Marty and I met with his Oncology Radiation team so they could view his progress and assess his current condition. They were thrilled that he has gained 8 pounds since they saw him three months ago!! The hope when he last saw the team was that he gain a single pound. Obviously, he has far exceeded expectations.
The Oncology Radiation team was also happy to see Marty's color much improved, and his stamina a bit more steady. There was obvious relief on all sides.
His doctor recommended no further tests, scopes or scans, as these would likely be invasive, and would add nothing further in terms of understanding his condition. This was also a relief for us, as the scans and tests have been intrusive, expensive and quite time consuming.
And, after our meeting with the medical team, we actually saw a film together, a rare occurrence these days, as all plans frequently go awry with Marty's unpredictable discomfort levels.
Fingers and toes crossed for continued improvement!
