The November appointment is just a distant memory at this point. The news was no change, disease stable. Good news! Merry Christmas.
The news this week, Tuesday, was ok.
No progression in any of the lung nodules, but one enlarged lymph node near the area of the removed kidney. Dr. T still feels like the drug David is taking is working and wants him to stay on it until out next appt in 3 months. About a year and a half ago they lowered David's dosage by giving him the weekend off of the meds. He now will add the weekends back in. We are hoping that this will make that little lymph bean happy and reduce the size again.
So it's not terrible, just not what we had become accustomed to. But hey, it's stupid cancer. It has no rules.
Because they didn't technically raise his dosage, he stays in the study and will continue to take the vaccine.
Dr. T says not to worry and he still feels good about this treatment. Easy for him to say, right? David asked if he was being totally straight with us...he said he was.
If the extra doses doesn't work, then it will be on to the next plan. Which they already have in mind. But idk what it is. A new trial.
We were happy to leave and be on our way home by 1 because we had San Antonio Rodeo tickets for that evening. We zoomed home, picked up the beautiful girls and had a fun evening together.
Please pray that the increased dosing works and the intestinal issues don't get bad again. Also pray for David's blood pressure to stay under control so they don't have to add another pill to his routine.
Thank you for loving us!
The Beautiful Girls!
