Gretchen's Medical Updates

Okay, appointments have now been set for the biopsy and next dr. visit.  The CT-guided fine-needle biopsy of the large mass on her right adrenal gland will be Wednesday 11 January 2012 at 10:30 a.m. PT.

Mom will have MRI of brain and appointment with Dr. Brett Tuesday 17  January 2012 to go over the biopsy results, mri results, and go over other issues.

Mom is very fatigued.  She is not eating or drink much.  She continues with pain in her spine (bony mets to spine with several vertebral compression fractures).  The pain med (Tramadol) tends to make her vomit.

We appreciate all positive energy, prayers or whatever sent in her direction.

The needle biopsy of Mom’s right adrenal mass has not been scheduled.  The images need to be evaluated before they can proceed.  Most likely it will occur sometime next week.  Mom needs a rest, the drive to and fro is rough on her right now.
