Went for the CT scan today. Doctor called about 5:30 and said the results were not good. The cancer was still growing in the liver mostly, despite the chemo.
Darrel and I had already decided that we wanted to go ahead with the next drug, oxaliplatin, combined with 5FU before we went North on the boat. We didn’t want to go for another 2 or 3 weeks (along with the 2 already) without any treatment.
The doctor was not very hopeful that the drug would help and was concerned that Darrel might be sick and not enjoy the vacation. Since he has handled all the other chemos so well, we are hopeful that this first treatment won’t affect him too negatively. If it does, well, we will just head home or fly him home.
Everyone had already gone home in the infusion center by the time the doctor called, so we don’t have a time for chemo tomorrow. The doctor sent the charge nurse an email, and I will call first thing in the morning. Quite sure they will get us in.
The good news is that the boat is fixed and we have started loading it. We still hope to leave on Friday, but will play it by ear.
Darrel has still been feeling quite well. His hair has even started growing back, even though they figured the last chemo would make it all fall out.
All is not lost yet! He is a stubborn ass, as many know, so he could just baffle the medical establishment yet!

Robin, if anyone can beat this, he can. He is so lucky to have you. Constant prayers for miracles. We just re-entered US waters and are tied out at Stuart Island. Let us know when you are headed this way if you can. Patti and Neil

We are leaving tomorrow and not sure how far we will go. If we end up in San Jauns, will give you a shout!
Praying that chemo goes well tomorrow and that Darrell bad ass kicks some good cancer ass and you get to head north Friday!! Glad to hear the boat is in working order. Looking forward to good news about the chem. Best wishes from the Howard’s
This is the one time being a ‘bad ass’ might be best. Noticed the hair growing back last night, looking good. You keep them guessing Darrel. my money is on you, Hope you have a super great time as I know you and Robin will. Love you both. xoxo
We love his stubborn ass! Go, Darrel!
