Results from recent treatments

I wanted to give everyone an update on my treatment. We just finished a 9-week treatment with Abraxane and Avastin. Abraxane is a drug the was originally developed from breast cancer but has shown incidental evidence that it is effective with metastatic colon cancer. Also, the biopsy had some markers that gave us reasons to believe Abraxane would work well.

The recent PET/CT scan showed a slight progression of the disease. My oncologist is recommending that we look to clinical trials because we have basically tried all of the current standard chemotherapy options. He is doing some research into the options and we meet again on Thursday.

Overall this has been a rough year as we have had quite a few new tumors and a significant progression of the disease. My hip pain has returned and I need to be on around the clock pain medicine. The good news is that there are still no signs of metastasis in the liver, and the brain tumor continues to shrink from the radiation treatment.

I continue to pray that it is God's will to heal me. Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers.
