we have visited with cody's oncologist at sanford. he talked with cody over the phone to try to determine the next step with his chemotherapy. it was decided to stop the 5/23 cycle (5 days of chemo/23 days off) and switch him to an every day plan. the oncologist and pharmacist have worked on putting together a treatment plan for him.
wednesday, cody had lab work completed and met with his oncologist. all blood work looks good so we are moving forward with the plan of chemo every day. unfortunately, insurance requires we get his chemo from a mail order pharmacy. and we couldn't agree more with the reviews out there---this company is not a good option. but, insurance companies know best. right? ha. the order has been placed. now we have to call the company a million times to make sure we get what we need, and wait for his pills in the mail. (can you tell i'm a bit sour about all of this?)
when we've told people that cody is going to start taking chemo every day, a common question we've gotten is "for how long?" indefinitely. he will continue as long as he can tolerate it or it is no longer working. at that point is when we try something different.
we have an appointment back at duke in february. cody will not have an mri until just before that appointment, which will be february 23.
