The current mix of meds is continuing to keep Lisa's pain under control.  Tomorrow morning Lisa will have her pre-radiation CT scan that will be used for their planning and physics calculations to determine if it is possible to 'nuke' the tumor in the area of her superior vena cava without causing her other discomfort and side effects.  As the radiation oncologist told us on the phone over the weekend, it's all about making Lisa feel better at this point -- they don't want to do anything that would make her feel worse even in the short term.  It will be Monday before we meet with the radiation oncologist to hear the conclusion and potentially start daily radiation treatment.
