Spring Training Begins!
It’s been a while since the last post. Hap is in the 18th week of his “clinical trial”.
He is back on both treatment medications, avastin and temsirolimus.
Some of Hap’s side effects have really slowed him down. (severe hemorrhoids, nose bleeds, headaches and fatigue) However, this week has been better. Fortunately, he was able to participate in the Cycle for Survival with his Mega Team, “Team Rowan” on February 12th.
At Monday’s appointment, Mary asked Hap’s doctor if he could take a break from the treatment to build up some strength and then later go back on them. Unfortunately, that is not an option in this trial. His next evaluation CT scan is scheduled for March 7th with the follow-up appt on the 12th. We are all looking forward to more progress and further treatment decisions being made.
For the first time in three years, Hap had his picture taken with his medical team, the “Core Four”, with Dr. Kemeny “hitting clean up”!
