Looking for bling tumor
Tomorrow, Rusty will go back to the hospital for a new, slightly different procedure. It will involve first surgically inserting gold flecks into the remaining tumor. Because the tumor moves while he is breathing, placing the gold in it will allow the radiation beams to zone in and target the cancer, without damaging surrounding tissue.
Following the initial procedure, there will be three days of radiation. We hope to finish this leg of his treatment by next week. If all goes well, he could be NED (No Evidence of Disease) by the end of the month.
Rusty, you are the best thing in my life. I love you.
