Today Kirk had a little bit of a rough day because they ran another CT Scan and put a pick-line in because his veins kept collapsing. This new line will help because now he won't have to be stuck all the time. I finally got to talk to the Doctor this afternoon. This is what we now know, the CT Scan showed that the cancer has not spread so that is a good thing, also they have determined that the primary site is not the lungs or the colon. So they are going to use a chemo regimen that focuses on the upper GI Tract. Our Doctor said that this was better because it would be targeting a specific area. He also talked with the Doctor in Cleveland and they have decided to start the chemo on Saturday. This chemo will be given every 21 days along with a pill form that will be taken for 10 days of the regimen. He also said that if he took the treatment on Saturday and did not get sick he could come home on Sunday. So now I am really praying for him not to get sick but if he does at least he is in the hospital and they can help control it better. I asked Kirk how he felt about everything that was said and he said that he was O.K. with it.
I just want to say thanks to everyone for all of your posts. We love you all!
I have been diagnosed with cancer. The cancer is of unknown primary which means they do not know where it originated. I have several tumors on the bone. I have be working with the Cleveland Cancer Center and an oncologist in Abingdon. This site is for my friends and family to see how I am doing each day. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. Thank you.
