Alex and I harvested our first two tomatoes, black crims, this season from our bed in the community garden. We promptly cooked them in a marinara sauce with some of our fresh basil.
My oncologist also unearthed some new growth. MRIs and CT scans showed insufficiency fractures (not complete breaks - obvious cause I'm still standing) in my pelvis and sacrum. In addition to calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, one fracture may have been caused by a lesion. The lesion visible in the MRI (soft tissue scan) could be benign or malignant. The orthopedic surgeon does not see evidence of a bone tumor on the CT. He prefers to wait 3 months then do follow up MRI and CT scans. If the lesion has grown, he will do a biopsy. Also, the pre-op radiation treatments I received last fall may have also caused my bones to weaken.
