Mike went to the Doctors on Thursday 02/17/11 with a recent cat scan. Unfortunately we don't have good news, but we were not surprised by most of the news we received. Most of the tumors grew approximately 1cm since the last scan. Two tumors doubled in size. The largest tumor is 6.9 x 5.6cm (3.5in x 2.9in) and the smallest is 2.2 x 1.5cm. 7 tumors were noted by the study. There is a 4.1 x 3.5 tumor that is now the cause of mild compression on his trachea which would explain a lot of the "new" pain Mike has been having when breathing.
The good news is that unlike most cancer patents in Mikes stage his white and red blood cell counts are all good. There is no note of metastatic chondrosarcoma to the lymph nodes.
