Roberto wrangled a CT scan appointment for Tuesday! I've worked my magic on the images and created movies. If you want a quick recap of the previous scans, I have links to them on this page.
The first movie has the scan moving from Roberto's head towards his stomach. Roberto's front is at the stop of the image and his right side is on the left (I'm still not sure why the image is mirrored in this way).
This next video has the scan moving from the front of Roberto's body to his back.
We also have a bonus right-to-left perspective of the scan. Roberto's chest is on the left side of the image and his back is on the right (you can see his spine). The right lung appears first and you can see the tumor on the left side of the image as a gray blob. Then a bunch of squishy organs (like the heart) appear and finally the left lung.
Overall, the tumor is much smaller. The difference in the tumor's size from August to now (mid-chemo and post-chemo) is not as dramatic to the difference in size from July to August (pre-chemo and mid-chemo). Still, we're glad to see that the extra two weeks of chemotherapy were worth it.
Now we wait for Friday when we meet with the oncologist.
Tomorrow I'll post CT scan comparisons!
