We went to Vanderbilt today. We were unsure what the plan was since neither of us feel the Irinotecan is working. Denny's labs came back fine so we went to the Infusion clinic. Normally, Denny sees the oncologist but today the nurse practitioner came to us. She said she could see how swollen his face was and understood that we felt it was not working. However, they wanted to have him go through another treatment because it was too soon to tell if it is working or not. She said Denny is not the norm. Most people do not have as quick a response to chemo that he does. So the fact that he didn't respond as quickly, doesn't necessarily mean this is not working. So, he got an infusion of Irinotecan today. We are ready in case he has nausea again. He has some medication to help keep it controlled.
When we left the clinic, a storm was moving over the city. The sky was a curious shade of blue. The Nashville skyline was spectacularly highlighted by the muted sun. As we drove toward home, a double rainbow appeared. It was so beautiful! Denny said, "Wow! I think this is God's way of saying, I'm still here!" We looked at each other and smiled.
We don't know what tomorrow will bring so we are living in the moment. We say prayers that Superman can keep fighting. I see his strength and courage every hour of every day. Go, Denny, Go!
Thanks for checking in. We appreciate all of you!
