Heading back

After another impromptu meeting with the oncologist on Friday, they told us that they want Joe to come back for a few more tests on Tuesday. These tests in a best-case senario would show that it is pseudoprogression, but they are just as likely to come back inconclusive. Hopefully this will give them enough information to make a better diagnosis. We will meet with our doctors again sometime after the tumor board meeting on Wednesday.

So we'll be going back to Memphis on Monday but we don't know how long they want us to stay. Thanks for all your prayers and messages.

I'm so sorry you have to go back. We'll certainly be praying for definitive results, and for Joseph's endurance. And for yours.

What a roller coaster. At least you are closer to Memphis now and hopefully travel is a little better.
Love you all. Take care.
