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.
