MRI done, CAT scan to go

Yesterday Robin completed the MRI. It was focused on her Thoracic spine (mostly the vertebrae of the upper back which are connected to ribs) and lumbar spine (the vertebrae of the lower back which - as far as I can tell - are not connected to ribs). We don't expect to hear anything about the MRI results until Friday when we meet again with the doctor. It's important to know of there are metastases in the spine, because if a tumor were to grow here, it could impinge on the spinal cord.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) she has the CAT scan of her liver scheduled for 5:30pm.

Her right cheek has been swelling, it appears to be the primary tumor getting bigger all over again. :( Can't wait to start chemo!
