Back in Raleigh

Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I went to the beach for the month of March and really didn't spend that much time on computers or phones. I needed a break from technology. We had a great time down at the coast. I love Raleigh but waking up everyday to the waves was heaven. But I am back in Raleigh and back to reality.

I continued to do chemotherapy with this new chemo, spongebob, during my beach vacation. All blood work have been coming back really good. Tumor markers and liver enzymes are continuing to drop. My doctors at Rex are very excited about this new drug and how my body is responding to it.

We finished up our consultation with Duke today. Based on their tests, they agree with Rex and are advising me to stay on this current treatment plan. If something changes down the road, I can transfer to Duke and get into a clinical trial. But for now, staying at Rex is the best option. I am very relieved that I can stay with my doctor and his staff that I have had for 5 years. I have had some bone tumor pain lately but hopefully that will subside. We are also waiting on results of some scans that I had done last week at Duke. My doctor at Rex will review those when I meet with him on Wednesday. Please say a little prayer that these scans will show good results too.

So life goes on.
