The Next 6 Thursdays

Quick update. We will be following this up every Thursday with a quick ultrasound to measure the growth of the mass in Mr. A's chest. As you may expect, I now dread Thursdays. Today's weather was beautiful, and it precedes a four-day weekend, but I'm still a nervous wreck.

Well, the mass has grown a bit, but they say they expected that. Its "volume ratio" has increased as well, but it still sits below the number that would cause concern. We are now locked in a race not so much against time as a race with time. These lesions tend to stabilize and stop growing around week 28, so growth is ok just as long as it isn't too much growth. In that case we'll need to take other steps to manage the mass.

Well, I'm going to go sit in the backyard and drink an Anchor Steam and try to shake off the anxiety of another Thursday. See you all tomorrow night you know where.
