I know I haven't written for a few days, but I will get back to it. I have been absorbed in all the current things going on. We met with the oncologist on Wednesday, and he reminded us again, just how rare these recurrences are. Since they are slow growing tumors, it gives time for the medicals to figure out what to do. The problem is, they don't know what to do. What they describe to us now is what would be reasonable to try. One suggestion was not to do anything at this time, and see how the tumors develop.
The most reasonable treatment appears to be another attempt at chemotherapy. Instead of the capsules, this would be done intravenously. Marie would start with a three day trial, to see how the white blood cells react. If everything looks good, it would move to five days a week, for three months. At least that's how I understood it.
