Its all about choices..

You have control over what goes into your body and how you chose to live your life. I cannot make that decision for Ted only he can make that choice. I can give him an opinion, most of the time I'm not sure myself. We had our appointment today with the Oncologist. In my on of my last posts it said that we started another round of treatment at a lower dose. We were hoping it wouldn't be that bad since he hadn't had a treatment in the last 8 weeks. But it kicked his ass anyhow. A little over two weeks feeling like you have been hit by a truck, and your stuck in that haze. It was probably Monday in St. Louis that he felt better. Technically he should have had chemo again that friday before. The question became.. What to do....do you live in a haze till you can't live no more? No of course you don't. So the choice.......No more chemo (cpt11) this stuff kicks and kicks hard. Another choice.... continue with the avastin and erbitux or not. Hoping to add a few more months, even years so for now...it's avastin and erbitux. (In the begining I gave a defination for these drugs, in case you need to revist.) Hope is what it is all about. The time between the last chemo and the latest treatment, about 8 weeks. The CEA levels rose some about it's 21. More then we prayed and hoped it didn't. But that is ok. This is only a number. CAT scan shows nothing in other organs. Good Sign!! So our fight continues. Never think we will give up because we arn't. We hope that he will work some and play more. I vote for the play more. Visits to the beach, dinner out with the family. Living life to the fullest. Ted picked up a booklet to get his learners permit for a motorcycle. Now that's living life!!
