Last Tuesday July 19 Kris had a blood test and on Thursday July 21 a PET scan. A PET scan is like a CAT scan only with a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). We saw her wonderful oncologist Dr. Blank on Tuesday July 26 when Kris and I went for her monthly infusion. Kris had a positive report. Her tumors are shrinking about 30% and one is gone. (Usually the doctors are happy if they don't grow) Her CPA 125 blood level was also lower. She may have to stay on the regimen of the PARP pills and monthly chemo indefinitely though. Discounting her side effects (heat rashes, headaches, low energy, nausea, arthritis inflammation) this is good news.
Follow our beloved Kris through her journey within the healthcare industry.
