Round 8 of Chapter 3

Wednesday March  23

Today we met with Dr. Rich to go over the results from the Pet Scan. Good news is that the cancer has not spread to any other organ that we had not already knew about.  Bad news was that it was showing activity again in his Colon, Liver and a spot on his Pelvic Bone.  Cody and I had been praying about what our next move should be if it came down to it.  We both felt really strong that we needed to precede with the Chemotherapy.  There is another drug that we could add to his regiment right now.  After talking with Dr. Rich he felt the same way, but thought we should hold off treatment today until we knew more about what is going on and what all our options are.  He felt like we should have the Colonoscopy first, meet with the Radiologist that does the biospheres radiation on liver.  If after the Colonoscopy it showed we should do surgery then we would have to wait 4 weeks before surgery after the last round of chemo.  So if we held of today then we would only have to wait 2 more weeks.    We decided it was probley smart to hold treatment and find out exactly what was going on.
