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
Ohhhh I hope this turns out to be nothing, we all do! I’m sorry, I know the waiting can make you craaaaaaazy. But all you need to do is look at Brinkley and follow his lead: he doesn’t know any different and doesn’t care, he just wants to be hoppy, and for you to be too.
We’re all sending lotsa love, paws are crossed for good news!
