First recheck

Brinkley had his first post chemo recheck yesterday.  One lymph node under his spine on his amputation side was enlarged from his last ultrasound by half a centimeter.  After much discussion with his oncologist we are waiting until April 8 to do another ultrasound…he will have to fast so if it is bigger they will sedate him and do a needle biopsy.  The range like everything else is an infection to cancer and he may need chemo again though she thought not five sessions like he just had.  Still no indication of a primary cancer site.  I’m disappointed, but not discouraged.  Brinkley shows no symptoms of anything and is not aware he only has three legs.  He continues to teach me what life is all about and makes me smile each and everyday.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!  Jackie
