Girls, I am really having second thoughts about dropping the Ixempra. OncoMan will look at the TM in the morning and we are going to take it from there. You all know I struggled back and forth about the reintroduction of Herceptin. Worst case scenario it will be the Ixempra with the additions until we can decide the regime. This would only happen if the TM went down in numbers, any drop would be encouraging. If the CEA drops I will almost know, not really for sure, but I will almost know that this reflects the passing of this drug through the BBB. That number has proven in his case to represent brain and bone activity. His body appears to be controllable and nothing as far as we can tell, in any organs. Body has been well receptive with most treatments.If marker drops, then I will keep and then add to magic recipe.
Either way Ed will take his Emend and trudge forward. He amazes me ladies, I look at him and see he is still truly embracing life, never complaining. Do not get us wrong, we are rather scared with this news but I think we can do what we need to do in the next few weeks. But as scared as we may be, we are more full of hope and anticipation. Tomorrow begins a new fight, a fight we are claiming today.
Wait and see the damage he does!! There is even a stronger look of fight behind those eyes than ever before. You go Mighty Oak, let us resume where we left off. I love you.>>Believe51
