Jack and Nona took Dallas to CTRC today and met with her main doctor from 8-2. He confirmed the progressed lung cancer & suspects pain in legs is due to progressed bone cancer in the legs/pelvis area. Bone scan, MRI & Xrays are scheduled for Thur. She may need radiation if hip bone is bad so she does not fracture & can be mobile. Then met with the clinical trials group which have 2 trials Dallas can participate in and she seems to want to. She doesn't want to just sit at home & do nothing. In a clinical trial she will see the Dr weekly, be monitored closely & the medicines could help keep the tumors from growing & maybe keep them same size. Goal is treatment of symptoms & quality of life.
Harold is still not well but has decided to leave the hospital. Dallas will be staying with Nona this week and she's taking a week off (FMLA - family medical leave act) to hang with her mom & coordinate everything. Dallas is having a lot of pain in her legs and hips but they have given her a better form of morphine to help with the pain. Nona will try to update this blog tomorrow as today was very long and difficult.
