Results

I met with Dr. Crim on Friday about the results from my biopsy. It turns out the new spot that looks nothing like my old cancer is in fact the same cancer. I'm not too worried about this news since Ive been dealing with it for so long now and know what to expect. I am going to begin a new treatment here in Fort Worth which is the the original drug that START wanted to use but I didn't meet the study guidelines. Though now the Drug has partial FDA approval so with the go ahead from the pharmaceutical company I get to have it now. I am going to start this treatment in a week or so. God has seen me through this far so I am confident going into this next part.

Had another Biopsy

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates. A good bit has gone on since my last blog. Some good and some undetermined. As of about 6 weeks ago a new spot showed up on liver, while the old spots were still shrinking. The new spot does not look anything like the old spots which has the Dr's wondering what it is, it could be a number of different things including cancer. So I had a biopsy today so we can figure out what it is. I am still feeling really good and have not felt a change a because of it. They have temporarily shut down my treatment until we figure out what it is. I will either start back up in a week or so on the stuff I have been on or move onto a new drug that sounds pretty good to me cause I will be able to have my treatments up here and have the pills shipped to me so that could mean no more San Antonio trips. We will have to wait a for more days to know whats going for sure. I am confident though that it is nothing to worry about. Ill let you know as soon I know something more.

God Bless
