The scan showed slightly growth in the pancreatic tumor and the liver tumors as well as a new tumor in the liver. That means 4-6 months of treatment starting next Thursday the 11th. They will use 3 of the 4 drugs in the folferinox treatment. Oxyplatin (sp?) will be dropped b/c of the nueropathy. Foliferi is what it is called without the oxyplatin. It will be more tolerable and Craig hopes to be able to continue to work through this round of treatment rather than take off any time other than receiving the chemo every other week.
The tumor marker was slightly up to 54 which is just another variable showing cancer growth.
We are disappointed but not surprised. The fact of the matter that this was not a 6 month nightmare but will continue to be an ongoing nightmare is just down right devastating right now.
It is what it is and we are back to one day at a time.
That is all that I am going update with right now. It is just beyond words for this blog at this time.
Thanks for the prayers and support. more to come later in the week, maybe...
