Hi Claudine, yes just a few indeterminate nodules based on scans but we all know its mets. SOC sucks when dr's generally won't make a move until proof thru a scan. Blows my mind. SBRT might not be on the table as of this morning. Got a call from lung surgeon saying tumor board advised against it until next scan in March and if no significate growth then maybe just watch. Are you kidding me!!! I let him know my feelings of dr's taking SOC/insurance policies/rules/ rec's when someones life is on the line. Missing the surgery boat is common with SOC drs follow. So ya, not sure if liked my response or not but the truth is the truth. Anyway, waiting on Germany to answer yes or no. If its a no go then I can still have SBRT thru another consult. Whew at the stress. I try not to stress to much. Ashwaghanda helps and other things.

Finally got email from Dr. Kern in Germany. They are having IT problems and need missing scan sent thru fedex.
Nothing ever goes smooth with me. Still no word from the other surgeon for second opinion.
IVC today and lots of different types of bloodwork tomorrow.

As of Thursday Feb 24th, Germany received the missing scan and would get with me soon. How soon is soon?
I have my notes ready for discussion. If they decide to say "lets wait" I have a pitch for benefit to go ahead with it regardless of whether its indeterminate or not.
Whew.
Bloodwork looks good. Big panels next week. I am def curious to know if the add ons are working for IL's CTL's NK's and a few others. I feel good about it but there can always be suprises.
