20. "RE: Our journey"
In response to message #19

Well the scan is in and it is not so good. The oncologist wants us to let it be. To let him go. He says 3 - 6 months. He said only come to the next appointment if we want to try something else but has only really given us 2 options. Carboplatin or BCNU. He says Gleevac or Avastin will cost us $10,000 and we do not have that. Maybe TM? But do we have the 6 weeks to get it to take effect? He says there is a lot of swelling and that the tumour cannot be acurately measured as it is irregular in shape. That the improvements we have seen have only lasted 2 months and also happens with this type of tumour. That things go and come back again. He was given 2 weeks and we are 7 months but the oncolisigt says it is the 2 surgeries that have kept him alive. That the radiation did not work and neither has Temodal. He is on a lot of known anti cancer medications both off label and prescribed. This damm thing is bloody hard to deal with! |
