A little growth

So, Jen's scan yesterday showed a small amount of growth in the area we have been most closely watching.  The growth is rather minimal, but it is still noticeable.   Her doctor at UCLA believes it is too small a change to consider it a recurrence and based on modulation we have seen before, he feels the next scan could show stability again.   He also recognizes that the next scan could show more growth as well.  He recommends doing another cycle of chemo rather than changing course at this time.   I am waiting to hear back from Jen's doctor at Cedars Sinai to get a second opinion.
With regards to the trial at City of Hope, I requested a reconsideration about suspending the Optune prior to the upcoming Leukapheresis.  They have reviewed the protocol with the regulatory personnel and concluded that she can remain on Optune prior to this first phase.  Sometimes asking works.   We may still need to stop it due to her scalp wounds, but at least we have the option to continue if we are able to do so.  I will keep you updated about our next steps.
