September Update

Steve's CT scan and lab work this week showed what we had begun to suspect, that the liver tumors have increased (significantly so) in size and number, so clearly the chemo he had been on was not working and thus it’s been discontinued. He has limited options at this point. The clinical trial we've been looking towards still has not opened, and even then Steve is #5 on the waiting list. There is another maintenance type oral chemo drug out there with a record of limited effectiveness and worse side effects than the one he just got off. Not a promising or appealing option, but he’s willing to give it a try if it will buy him enough time to get into the clinical trial. Meanwhile, it will be a few weeks until he can start on the new chemo, so Steve will be off treatment until later this month, and it could be several weeks before there’s any news regarding his eligibility for the trial.[...]
