One Was Wispy!

This has been a day of beautiful clouds. A few of those clouds were wispy...which brings me to the description of one of Woody's tumors. Dr. Rosati came in and told us that Woody's tumors had shrunk some more since the last scan. Woody asked her specifically about the one that he had been able to see and feel on his sternum...which we have observed disappearing these last two months since his treatments. The only thing that we can now see/feel of this tumor is that there is still some bruising on the skin. She said that the CT scan showed that tumor to now be what she described as "wispy." She said that someone new looking at Woody's scan wouldn't pick up on the fact that it is melanoma...she only knew it due to the fact that she knew that melanoma had shown up in that spot on previous scans. She couldn't give us a percentage of shrinkage as she had had surgery last night and hadn't been able to do the measuring on the scans yet. She is supposed to tell us via email how much the tumors have now shrunk. Both doctors that we saw seemed pleased with the way the tumors have continued to shrink.

Before leaving the clinic, we were given appointments for next month. Once we had the appointments in hand, we headed downstairs to get our voucher check for travel and a night of lodging and also went to the pharmacy to get another bottle of antibiotics (he has to take these for another four months at least). Then we headed to the car. We got under way about 2:30pm Eastern time and stopped for the night in Salem, VA just as it was getting dark. I took tonight's blog picture through the windshield of the clouds over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Like I said at the start of the blog...the clouds were absolutely beautiful today...quite a "show in the sky!"

And, as Woody would say..."The good Lord willin' we'll be home tomorrow."
