Dennis and I were down at MD Anderson today seeing a Dr. that is the top of the line in Dr’s. in esophagus cancer. He is going to give Dennis 3 different medicines which are types of Chemo. He told us that Dennis has had this cancer in him for at least 2 1/2 years.
He goes tomorrow to get the pre surgery work done as he is having a port put in his neck on Tues. at St. Johns. This way they can start the chemo. Two of the medicines are drips and the other is a pump. They all will be given through I V. He goes back to his main oncologist on Thurs. and I am sure that is when she will tell us when he will get the chemo.
He will get 2 days in a row then wait 11 days and then get chemo again for 2 days and then wait 11 days. He is schedule already to have another PET Scan done on the 10th of Jan. to see how much the chemo shrunk the masses and the lymph nodes.
Anyhow that is where we stand the port will be put in Tues. and then Chemo will start I would say sometime shortly after the 15th of Nov.
I was reading about the side effects and there is going to be a lot since he will be getting 3 different types of medicine and each one has there own side effects.
As always keep us in your prayers and we thank you very much for all the beautiful things you all have been saying.
