I just got off the phone with Mom… it wasn’t good news. All the results came in… portions of the cancer is getting smaller. Though, other portions of the cancer is getting bigger. Therefore, Dad is no longer a candidate for regular chemo.
- Surgery is off the table because it’s too wide spread
- Radiation is off the table because he has maxed out his limit.
- Regular chemo is off the table because it’s not 100% doing the job
What does that leave us… clinical trial chemo. To say the least, we aren’t happy about being put on the clinical trial but it’s our only option left. Dad will have to go MD Anderson – Downtown to receive the clinical trial chemo. At the current time, it’s unknown when he will start the trial or what kind as we have to meet with the clinical trial doctor and see what our best option is.
I will definitely give you more updates as soon as I know something.
