Lynelle met with Dr. Hedy Kindler at the University of Chicago on 3-30-11 after her CAT scan there on 3-29-11. The 3 chemo treatments she received in Omaha were not effective in shrinking her tumor so she will not continue with that type. Although not a candidate for surgery, Dr. Kindler suggested three other types of chemo, all with low side effects, that have been effective in shrinkage or stabilization of some mesothelioma tumors. Lynelle will be considering whether to start one of them in the near future.
