Happy New Year to All!

It’s been about five weeks since the last post. Hap is still in the clinical trial. He had to cut back on the Avastin for a few weeks due to some side effects. Today he and Mary met with Dr. Kemeny, his main oncologist to review last week’s scan. The scan showed mild decrease in three out of the four pelvic tumors. As his doctor says, every little bit counts. No change in the liver, but no change is good. Hap only received temsirolimus and no avastin to allow further healing from his complications. Hap did receive his monthly octreotide injection. He also brought up some concerns with his eyes. His doctor wants Hap to follow up with his eye doctor to make sure he’s not having a new side effect from the treatments. Overall, it’s was a good day!
