Just a quick note..I will post details later. We just left Dr. Tsao's office and we have a plan! Based on the test, there is NO CANCER spread anywhere else in the body. The spot on the vertebra in his middle back is NOT CANCER (most like arthritis type situation caused by age!) The spot on the C3 (back of neck) does show some cancer activity like we suspected, but HAS NOT invaded the spinal cord and seems stable. She is not going to treat that unless it starts to grow or cause problems. So excited. He will start a new chemo regimen, one that he has not had before, when we get home. She said he needed a "time out" to get the other out of his body and could start this in two weeks. No more weekly Erbitux, just the new chemo which will be given once every 4 weeks! We will return to Houston in 10 weeks for follow up scans and another appointment with Dr. Tsao.
We are meeting with the pain management medical oncologist at 3 and then will be on a plane back to Alabama tonight. Thanks for your prayers. Love to all!
Be back in touch soon!
