Ok, so we got our update from the oncologist. Counts went back up slightly, but are within "new normal" range. The radiology board has concluded that the tumor is larger in a few areas on the right side, and possibly smaller in another area. It's all a matter of millimeters, so whatever's going on, it's slow.
What does this mean for us? Well, nothing, right now. We're still monitoring, and have moved up her MRI to 12 weeks. Immy has been having on-and-off leg pain again, so it could be connected.
Where do we stand, treatment-wise? Well, if things were to get worse: chemo isn't really an option anymore, because Imm didn't really respond to it the first time. So, our only real option would be more surgery—very dangerous, morbid surgery. So, the plan is to continue monitoring, unless she starts experiencing adverse effects from the cancer.
We feel fine; we're not worried. The oncologist isn't thinking it's an emergency, and she feels confident we'll know more once another scan is under our belt.
