After having an MRI on my hip last Friday, the results did not make a very convincing case for radiation. YES… another cancer first has been postponed! The bone mets do in fact appear stable. This is great news! There are however small ligament tears and strained tendons that might be causing the pain in my hip. From what I understand, torn tendons can be caused by strenuous activity or even athletic injuries. Since I haven’t been involved in any strenuous activities or athletic events lately, I think we can chalk this up to me being “fragile.” You know, there's a reason I played golf in high school. Anyway, since I’m tolerating the pain fairly well, I’m going to be taking it easy in hopes these “kinks” work themselves out. If the pain persists and gets worse, then we’ll have several options to move forward from there, but at this time… I have a great excuse to sit on my ass!
P.S. I'll be starting the new cocktail/trial drug MM-111 on Monday, October 8th and I'll be back on a weekly infusion.
