Lisa's nurse shared the news yesterday:
CT scan: stable
MRI of head:stable
MIBG scan: mixed bag.....more uptake in some of the bony areas, but there was one small are of improvement?!
We are still waiting for the doctor to review the finding but based on what he told me Tuesday, I'm pretty sure that Lisa will be doing the MIBG Radiation/Isolation treatment next week. Her brain scan, which was his biggest concern, had no new areas of activity.
How the heck there was an improvement in one are of her leg bone is a total mystery. She's not had any treatment for over 5 weeks. For a few moments, I indulge in the fantasy that her body has finally figured out how to cure itself and if we just quit all treatment her body would do it's own thing and cure its self. Reality crashes into the fantasy when I think about all the other areas that showed an increase in growth....most likely, that area of improvement was just a misread of a scan or some other anomaly....but will take improvement any way we can get it.
Soooooo, unless the doctor says differently, next week Wed Lisa will be admitted for high dose MIBG radiation and be in isolation. Looks like my weekend will be spent putting together some items that she can take into the room but won't miss when she has to leave them behind:)
Fingers crossed and prayers going up that Lisa sails thru this treatment as easily as she did before.

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for Lisa health, strength and to be cancer free. The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the saint of Miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.
