It seems getting harder and harder. I called Reston hospital Oncologist office and talked to Linda which is an assistant physician with Dr. Felice on Oct. 29 2014.  She told me that the pet scan on July 18 was good. But the pet scan on Sept. 23, showed the tumor had spread to lung. The tumor could produce fluid, which may cause cough. The biggest one has size of about 1cm. She also mentioned some tumors are on the bones which are use to produce blood. The liver tumor may also damage liver function based on Emily's yellow skin. That is very bad news. What should I do? Ask for second opinion. Emily doesn't like that idea.

On Friday, Oct. 31, the day after blood transfusion, Emily is able to do the therapy.  On Friday, she seems OK. But Saturday, she was complaining about joint and hip pain, which won't go away. Her coughing was reduced a little on Saturday night. But she is still complaining about stomach is too full. What can we do?
