Get Ready for the 2nd Run

藹玲腦部的放射治療會一直做到星期四(5/20),預計是5/21可以出院,回新竹休養,5/26回榮總看謝大夫的門診,預計安排在6/1進行肺部腫瘤切除手術,這次在手術結束後會住在加護病房比較多天,手術後的疼痛會比較厲害,請繼續以禱告支持藹玲有體力有毅力,接受接下來一連串的治療,由正子測試及肺癌檢測,確定藹玲是肺癌,所以在手術後需要接受化療。


PET, and CK-7 and CK-20 tumor markers all suggest pulmonary origin of lung cancer.


Like he always do, Dr. Hsu sat down with us again early today to go through PET scan images and explained to us the interpretation of PET scan confirm lung cancer while no other lesions detected elsewhere.


This patient will be discharged from Neurosurgical Ward next Friday and come back to visit Dr. Hsieh, Pulmonary Surgical Department on May 26th, then be admitted to Pulmonary Surgical Ward within a day or two and prepare for a lung surgery on June 1st (Tues.)


We're told this time to prepare to stay in ICU a lot longer, say 2 - 3 days at least and it might take longer time to heal the surgical wound while enduring much sharp and excruciating pain when it is about lung this time.


The story doesn't end here. Once the patient is ready, she will undergo the much talked about chemotherapy flushing her whole system to stamp out the cancer cells of which might have spread inside her body.
