Well, we finally got the medication today, his first dose will be taken tonight. His brain scan showed up negative which is fantastic. I actually was a bit worried because he had been acting a bit forgetful and confused lately but I think that is due to the pain medication, he has never taken anything like it before. His CT scan showed the mass under his arm....yep, still there and about the same size. The funny thing is that they can not see anything on the CT regarding his sacral lesion. Dr. Hamid has ordered an MRI of the area which Cleve will have done at home in the next few days. That being said, the pain and nerve involvement is not less than what it has been and still requires some heavy duty pain meds. Cleve will also follow up with his oncologist here in medford and then return to L.A. In about a month for another round of meds. Cleve also met with a dermatologist down here for the study and he was great, very funny. Now we just wait and see about any adverse reactions and see how he tolerates the medication. Let's hope for minimal side effects.
(I'm trying to add some pictures but it's not letting me so I will do it later when I'm at my actual computer...stay tuned)
