Scans last week were not clean and boring. There is a new lesion on my liver which they are going to biopsy in two days. If it's cancer, we're going to ablate it like we did the last one and send my slides to get some fancy new genetic testing done so they can tailor infused chemotherapy to my specific cancer. First round of chemo will be once a week for five weeks and by all accounts, it will be brutal.
Right now we are hoping beyond hope that the lesion is something other than a new instance of adrenal cancer but my oncologist told me to steel myself for bad news because there was no sign of this lesion four months ago and now it's already 2.5 cm. Adrenal cancer is notoriously aggressive which is why we're jumping on this now.
So. This fucking sucks.

UGH I wish there were words that would change your situation, or make you feel better, but there aren't any, I'm sure.
Sending prayers that the lesion is found to be benign.
Big hugs!
