April 25th – Some progress no answers yet.

Rebecca had her bone marrow biopsy done on Tuesday, she also had her port put in at the same time (I had no idea that a port was a completely under the skin thing, kinda strange).

We had the colonoscopy this morning in the hopes that we would find the origin of the cancer. I found out today that this is called a CUP (Cancer/Carcinoma of Unknown Primary). The doctor said that things looked good, but that he did see there were a lot of polyps at the entrance of the small intestine, so he’s thinking that maybe that is where we are going to find it. He’s(gastro) just following what the oncologist ordered, so he’s bouncing us back to the oncologist for next steps.

We have an appointment to see the oncologist again on May 1st, so unless he can see us earlier, or he kicks us to the Chicago team we won’t have any more info until then.
