9:00 AM appointment with doctor today. Traffic was awful going in so we were 10 minutes late.

The CA 19-9 results weren’t back yet when we met with the doctor. As he has said previously, the CT scan is the gold standard for determining whether the chemo is working, so he wanted another one before administering the chemo.

He couldn’t get an appointment at the Seattle campus in the next few days, but was able to get one tomorrow at Bellevue at 2PM. (Another fun drive, I am sure!)

Then, we have a phone visit with him at 4:20. Depending on the results, Darrel will probably have chemo on Thursday. There is another drug to add to the mix, but it is the last one available and he doesn’t want to add it unless he is sure these current ones aren’t working.

As some of you know, we were planning on leaving on the boat to Canada tomorrow. At this point, the boat isn’t working right anyway. Darrel spent all day yesterday replacing parts but it still won’t work right (a fuel starvation issue, we think.)

He took it to the shop this afternoon and hasn’t come back. I think he might be waiting to make sure they work on it. They were supposed to plug in a computer yesterday but never made it. It is their busy season, but don’t tell someone you will do something then never show up!

I will post tomorrow or the next day with CT results.
