Woody had a very good report from Dr. Holt today. And it only took a half day this time--noon to a little after five. They took three xrays to make sure that all was ok--and all was! She was very pleased with how he had healed--both inside and out. She wants him to start physical therapy on his shoulder--that will take place here in Tullahoma.
She talked with us about surgery on the lower left arm. But at the moment she thinks that it would be best to just hold off till all IL-2 after effects are over...plus she was looking down the road at "perhaps" more IL-2 if results are seen on the scans. So she just felt that it was best to just wait before consulting with a trauma surgeon. Woody has an appointment to go back to see Dr. Holt in three months. That might be the time that she refers us...but she did say that "if" another IL-2 doesn't happen then the surgery could happen sooner and we can contact her and they will refer us.
As much as Woody doesn't want to think about further IL-2 treatments, we still have to hope and pray that he will get them...because that means that the first treatments did what they were supposed to do!
Woody has an oncology radiation consult tomorrow at Vanderbilt...shall we sing "on the road again?!" I guess that shortly he will start radiation--but here in Tullahoma. Dr. Holt said that he would probably have two weeks of radiation.
Melany is on Spring Break so she took us today and is taking us to tomorrow. She is spending the night with us tonight.
I'll report tomorrow about his radiation consult.
