Not a good report.
Well, the news wasn’t very good on last weeks’ trip to the doctor. The tumor in Steve’s esophagus was much better, which is very good news as is the fact that his Cumidin levels are adequate . The radiation evidently did its’ job and Steve can eat much better now. Unfortunately, the tumors in his liver have not responded as hoped and this explains the back pain he has been experiencing. So he will get a three week hiatus from chemo then he will go on a much stronger regimen. That is the bad news. This last dosage made him sick enough. The next one will be much more intense. It hurts not to be able to do something to help. About the only thing we can do is to treat him as normally as possible. This weekend he has gone to Lake Tahoe. I doubt if there is any snow yet but it will be beautiful anyway. He needs the break.
Buy me a beer!
