Clean Living Pays Off

The liver biopsy results are in: BENIGN.    Woo Hoo !!!!!!

That was certainly good news. Now we turn our attention to the mass on my left kidney. The doctor looking at my PET Scan described it as 

"[The] hypermetabolic mixed solid and cystic left renal mass is suspicious for primary renal neoplasm"

Once again the doctor postponed my first infusion treatment so as not to muddy the kidney biopsy results. Wednesday they called to make a tentative appointment for next Thursday. And again the only site they do this procedure is an hour and a half from where we live now. They start very early in the morning there but did slide my appointment to mid-morning to give us more time to make the trip. 

OK. 

Then they called yesterday. The radiologist scheduled to do the procedure wanted a better look. They squeezed me in yesterday afternoon for a quick CAT Scan. Now I've had an MRI scan, a PET scan and a CT scan. One more and I get a free scan???

My first nivolumab infusion is now scheduled for the 17th barring any unforeseen developments. I can wait...
