Cancer just sucks....

Well we went to see the Doctor on Friday. He came in with all Teds papers and showed us the trend. Pretty much what i've been saying on here anyhow. His counts where going down while on Chemo and while on just the erbitux and avastin they went down a little and then held some. Friday they were up about 4 points. 18.6. Ok so this could be a hicup in the test or it could be a trend. We had just the avastin and the erbitux treatment on Friday and in another two weeks we will do the same again. After that on Nov. 16 when we see the Doctor again we will see with the CEA levels are. If they are still going up the doctor is pushing for chemo again. He wants to keep those numbers down. He is talking about a really low dosage to keep the numbers in check. Actually keep the Cancer in check. So a low dosage and maybe every other treatment add in the chemo. Maybe the side effects won't be so bad and long lasting. The doctor is looking to keep him going for another treatment to come out with. Sometimes I wonder if he knows of something that is coming out but hasn't been approved yet. I hope so. That would be cool. Ted has been feeling pretty good. Just really tired. His blood counts are 36.5 too high for procrit and low enough to make him tired. He is starting his vitamins again. HE really can't take just iron though because of his colostomy. We don't want anything that is going to stuff him up. Well not much else to tell. I'll keep you updated.

Ps...if we visited anyone this summer and found a nintendo DS and games in an old brown cassette case. Please let me know. Kyle can't seem to find it and he thinks he left it somewhere on our trip in July to NY and NJ. PSss....Kyle got his Drivers Permit last week. Yeah....Haven't gone out driving yet. Soon.
