Cycle 2, Week 3

Week 3 went well enough. Kev even worked in the yard this past weekend - a first in probably a year. No Abraxane this week, but instead this Wed we get an MRI (brain scans) - [fingers crossed...] A meeting with his neurosurgeon on Thursday will provide the results...
Next week we get CT scans (body) - more crossed fingers... & toes...

Cycle 2, Weeks 1 & 2

Last week Kev's appetite started to pick up, but still no weight gain. However by this week he had gained 4 lbs! The side effects are still manageable, but his hair is starting to fall out. He is not so fond of going through that again, but it obviously indicates the treatment is doing something to his body - let's just hope there are also some positive responses. Next Wednesday, the 21st, will be his last (3rd) abraxane treatment for this cycle and we will get scans shortly thereafter which will let us know how effective this has been.

Cycle 1, Week 4

It’s the end of week 4. This was an “off” week for the Abraxane, but Kev did receive boosters for red and white blood cell growth. And the oncologist gave him the “OK” for starting Cycle 2.
