Tomorrow morning (0700) we'll be at IU for a CT-guided biopsy of Alison's main tumor. (The retropetrineal mass). IU says they will be better prepared to make a treatment decision after seeing a sample. They are concerned by the presentation of her cancer. No carcinoid syndrome. Faster than typical Neuroendocrine tumors. Somewhat responsive to chemo, though most Carcinoid Neuroendocrine cancer is not. I tend to agree with them; they should be absolutely prepared for this decision.
Today I came home to take Alison for a blood transfusion, but she's not doing well, feeling rest is better than seeing the doctor yet again. Her blood counts are not really all that bad, and can definitely make it through the weekend, so I agreed. It seems like resting up for our IU trip tomorrow makes sense.
