Let me catch you up on the latest developments. Denny and I met with Dr. Murphy on Monday, June 16th. She was going to start him on the Everolimus. However, when she got the results of the MRI, she changed her mind. The MRI said there was no significant change between the latest MRI and the one that was done in April. Dr. Murphy feels that because the Topotecan is still has a response, she wants to keep going with it until Denny can't tolerate it or the cancer becomes totally resistant. Even though the Topotecan cannot hold him completely from treatment to treatment, she wants to exhaust it totally before moving on to the Everolimus. We have no idea if the Everolimus is even going to work. So this is the plan for now.
While we were with Dr. Murphy, Denny brought up the driving restriction again. Dr. Murphy is scheduling a driving test. If Denny passes the test, he will be able to drive. If he doesn't, he will not be able to drive at all. As of right now, he can drive locally and but not on the highway.
His next chemo begins June 23rd. Dan and I have to go to Auburn for his New Student Orientation called "Camp War Eagle". We will be leaving on June 22nd. Denny's sister, Anita and our brother-in-law, Jim, are coming down to take Denny to his treatments. Dan and I will be back late Tuesday night or Wednesday.
I have to work on June 21st so Denny and I will be celebrating our anniversary tomorrow night. We are going to go out to eat at Cheddars. Considering where we were last year, who would have thought we would be celebrating another anniversary? It is one more miracle to add to the list...
