Well, treatment was yesterday. It is supposed to be the last scheduled one. He did fairly well this time. I guess the last one was so bad it made this one seem easier. One needle... in bed all night, but ate a little dinner... this morning, he was up walking around driving me nuts. But, that's all a good sign. He is still queasy and not looking forward to the nasty shot later today.. last one of those we hope.
Here is what the doc said yesterday.
He does think there could be some activity still going on. But what amount is the next determining factor. On the 8th Billy will go for a Petscan. On the 10th he and I will meet with Dr. Bednar to review the results. If there is a small amount of activity then he can graduate to radiation. We already have an appointment with Dr. Greenberg for later that day. That is just a second consult to see what he says, since Billy is still debating sloan vs hunterdon. If there is a medium amount of activity, then more chemo. This could mean another round of 4 months, or a different medication series all together. If there is a larger amount of activity, then we look at bone marrow or stem cell transplants.....
cross your fingers
