Sorry folks. Rob is\u00a0wasted on Ambien. I have wrestled control of the computer away from him. He may require a horse tranquilizer to get to sleep.<\/p>\n
The lowdown is that Rob has the dreaded tumor progression. After a lovely dormant period, that bastard Tawd is back.<\/p>\n
We were told two likely scenarios today at the visit with the oncologist:<\/p>\n
We continue with treatment (Avastin) and Rob begins to feel better and\u00a0the tumor\u00a0retreats.<\/p>\n
We continue with treatment and Rob continues to decline, the tumor continues to grow and we\u00a0arrange hospice care and we keep Rob as happy and comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0will all\u00a0play out over the next month or so. It will be obvious even without another MRI which scenario is going down.<\/p>\n
After all this time, these\u00a0are really\u00a0the only\u00a0options available to us. Other available drugs that Rob could try\u00a0have a\u00a0roughly 5% chance of making an improvement, but\u00a0a huge\u00a0chance of really unpleasant side effects which will dramatically diminish his quality of life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We continue to laugh and we continue to love one another\u00a0and we appreciate all your support.<\/p>\n
Love,<\/p>\n
Kasey<\/p>\n
