We had not heard about the CT scan ordered by the oncologist, so I called today. The radiation folks didn't know about it so they referred me to the doctor's service. We got a quick callback and they said that it really needs to be done ASAP. The reason is that they want the results before the scheduled radiation begins which is now set for Wednesday. It may be set over the weekend or on Monday, we shall see.
This test plus others will form the basis of a conference among the oncologist, surgeon and radiologist for the optimum course of action. The Stanford website cites the "seeding" of cancer sites caused by cholangiocarcinoma and its termed intra-peritoneal dissemination.
Mary's digestive system ran into some difficulty for a few days caused by the painkiller but with some help from over the counter medicines, everything is ok again. That is good because her daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters arrive tomorrow from Pasadena for the 4th weekend. We should have a good time with the girls!
