I just spoke to the doctor who presented my case at the meeting this morning. She said that the tumor is close enough to the pulmonary artery that the surgeons felt it would be iffy to try and remove it at this point.
So their recommendation is to continue chemotherapy for a couple more sessions, without the Avastin, which may have contributed to the bleeding. Then, we would assess whether radiation was needed to further shrink the tumor before surgery. This is similar to the plan we had prior to this incident, though my doctor was skeptical about surgery.
Thanks again for your prayers. I will let you know when I have an idea when I might get out of here.
