Due to the neopathy (tingling in Craig's feet) we have opted to drop the Oxyplatin (sp?) from the chemo line-up. There is a fine line between temporary side effect and permanent was really unknown and since the treatment has worked so far we feel like it is a good calculated risk. Most people can not finish out this regiment so in order to finish up in some form or fashion this was the best move for the last two treatments.
Platelets are still low.
Tumor marker to come back later this afternoon.
Update: Tumor marker is a 13.2!!!!!!! WOW that is awesome.
More updates to come on next steps, CT scans dates, and second opinions. April is turning out to be a busy month. It may even start with a trip to Houston! :)
last CT scan after this treatment plan is scheduled for April 25th
last treatment scheduled for April 12th (the day before our 9th wedding anniversary)
So after the 26th of April we have a better feel for what is next.
We are off to Houston on Saturday morning! GO CATS!
Thanks for all the prayers we know that God answers each one of them in His own time.

Is there such a thing as a "normal" tumor marker? If so, what is that? Just curious.
Enjoy Houston!

So happy to hear that you all are going to the Final Four. Have a wonderful time.
This is truly outstanding news Michelle and Craig. I'm calling in all favors with the man or woman upstairs on your behalf. Everyone who has been around this disease needs a win. It might as well be you!
Regards,
Mark Turcotte
