Hello @rigal I am happy that @colleenyoung tagged me for you. I know that you don’t have a plan of action yet, and that really scary information showed up in your portal.
I only have two advice to get through the day. First is remember to breathe. The second is to have a second person with you if possible at your appointment today. Ask for the doctor to write things down or give you a copy of everything so you can re-digest it after. There might be a lot of information coming at you at once.
I will be thinking of you today, and believing they will give you a plan of action, because it is easier to deal with this disease when we are doing something.
Will you come back and answer this post, so that I will get a notification after your appointment? Let me know how you are doing after?💕

Hi Chris:
thank you for getting back to me. I just finished up my labs and my office visit. My doctor set me at ease, at least for the moment. My labs all looked good and each were going in the right direction. As far as that very nerve-wracking scan report, she seemed less worried than I was about the mention of the diffusion of mets in the bone marrow. She asked if I make soup using bones which I do. And then said, where we see bone mets of course we will see it in bone marrow. Made perfect sense and she was not surprised. What the bottom line is the orserdu med is a med that needs time to work and taking scans just 6 weeks after starting was too soon. We are doing scans again in two months. So time to breath, at least for now.. I'm finally hungry. 🙂
thank you, Deb
