We met with Cody's oncologist this morning in Sioux Falls. After first discussing what his chemotherapy plan will look like, we started chatting about the clinical trials at Duke University. Right now, they are doing some of the most promising treatments in the nation for Glioblastoma. Through the Dr.'s recommendation, he feels like we have nothing to lose. Cody is young, strong, and healthy.
The Dr. wasn't recommending Cody start chemo for another couple of weeks anyway, so in the meantime, he is going to make the contact and referral to Duke. At this point, we don't know if they would even accept Cody or if he would meet their criteria for any trials. But we definitely left there excited about the possibility. Of course, now we wait. Again. They are hoping to get things figured out within the next week or two. If they choose not to accept Cody, then his chemo plan is set and ready to go. Cody's ready. He's ready to give it all he's got.
In other news, his back is doing much better and he feels like he's getting better headache relief from his new pain meds. His energy remains limited. He is anxious to get back to work, but I'm not sure how he's going to manage that when he's still sleeping 20 hours a day!
