18 March 2021

 

     I went to UW Health and received a lumbar puncture with methotrexate.  The spinal fluid taken from last week’s spinal tap showed a return of cancer cells.

    Tomorrow Dr. Vaishalee Kenkre, who is filling in for Dr. Pophali while she is on maternity leave, will gather a meeting where my treatment will be discussed and the road ahead will be determined which, may or may not, depend on what is going on in my central nervous system.

     If last week’s spinal fluid had come up clean, I doubt there would even be a discussion of my treatment at their meeting.  Since it was not, it is possible that we shift to the palliative treatment Dr. Pophali discussed with me.
