Cody met with the dr today before his Avastin infusion. The tumor in his cerebellum has shown a positive response with the current treatment. Yay!
But, there are some changes they're concerned about. Not yay😕 Back in his frontal lobe again there is a small area that is lighting up on the MRI, worrisome of new tumor growth. At this point, they're not going to change anything with treatment but cody will have another scan in 2 months to compare. At that time, if it is stable or there is no change they wouldn't do anything. If the spot is looking bigger, they would send the images to Mayo as surgery would possibly be an option.
So not exactly the results we were hoping for, but we're going to wait the two months and see what the next scan brings.
Cody will continue with Avastin treatments every two weeks. He is also doing chemo every other week. He starts the chemo on the day of Avastin and takes it for one week then has one week off. He has been tolerating it all very well and labs continue to look good.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers while we do more "waiting."
Thanks for the news even if I liked yesterdays better. You are right good and bad. So happy the Avastin is working but hopefully it is not anything to bad on the other and Chemo will take care of it. God is good even if we only want better in more ways than one. Hope all else is going ok, LOve you all and again if there is anything we can do please ask. Grandma and Grandpa
