Andy and I arrived in Tampa the night before. We stayed again at Noel McDonnell’s condo. She is a gem for being so generous! A quick ten minute ride to Moffitt!
First on the agenda, CT scans of the Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis. Staff at the UDI center at Moffitt we’re extremely kind. I shared thanksgiving masks with them. They were excited and promptly put them on! Sorry no pic, but rest assured they looked super cute!
We took a shuttle ride back to the main building where next up was bloodwork. This went quickly (thanks to UDI nurse leaving my IV in) which left us time for a lunch break. We navigated the obstacle course to the cafeteria and tried to relax for a little while. Hard to do with the anticipation of my scan results!!
Andy and I arrived early to my first MD appointment with liver surgeon, Dr Anaya. His clinic was running 45 minutes behind! What did I do? Took a nap in the waiting room! Why not? I’ve lost my filter for such things, lol. Sorry, again no pic!
Our turn finally arrived and the visit was packed full of information. Honestly, we are still processing much of it. Not a candidate for surgery today, like we had hoped:-( But, the tumors again shrunk further and there were zero new ones. 🙂 The bottom line recommendation was to have four more rounds of chemo in hopes that the second largest tumor would pull further away from two veins.
What does this mean?!? Please continue to pray and support me and my family! The road is long and we need each and every one of you! Thank you so much for being here for us. It means the world!
(Now go get your colonoscopy!)
Much love,
Angela 💕

Praying for continued shrinkage of the tumors ( that they would disappear) and that the one would move away from the veins ( and disappear) . Much love and continued prayers for you and your family!!
Continuing to lift you up in prayer for complete healing!
I asked Dr. Rosenberg about a colonoscopy for me. My last one was in 2014 with Dr. Chakravorty. Dr. R. said, that’s risky (might puncture the colon) let’s do other tests first. Blood test – slight anemia. Why? Let’s chase that down, first.
Thx for the advice, Angela. Best wishes!!!!!
Angela ,
Stay strong and positive! Praying for this next 4 rounds to be it , to shrink that tumor enough!! You are in my daily prayers and hugs out to you and your family ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖
