How Goes It Week

It's been a fast eight weeks since our last CT Scan & checkup.  Everything was stable at that time.  Bobby skipped a week of treatment to be with me in Tucson with Lynne, and had to miss one other dose due to the mouth sores.  He seemed to be tolerating the pain, but Dr Keller said they were huge and insisted on holding the dose.  The weeks without treatment are kinda nice, a reminder of what it's like to not be fighting fatigue.

This week, we have a brain MRI scheduled today in addition to the Chest/Abdomen CT tomorrow.  Then Thursday, we review everything with Dr Keller.  He's had 33 weeks of Torisel. They say you can stay on it as long as it's effective and the side effects are tolerable.  At $3500 a week, I guess it's also as long as the insurance will pay for it.

Thanks to you all for the nice notes, cards and calls about my sister Lynne. We continue to miss her every day.  As difficult as August was, we did take time to celebrate Bobby's 60th birthday. We are thankful for every day. 

Thanks for checking in on us, and for continuing to remember us in prayer. We appreciate you.

Love, Juli
