I saw my oncologist yesterday and he stated that the temporary problem with my kidney function concerns him enough to take me off the Avastin permanently. If the tumors begin to grow there are many more therapies to try. I had a candid conversation with him stating that I was beginning year three since my diagnosis and what I should expect. My thoughts were that the tumors would eventually take over the liver and send me into liver failure. He shook his head and said even within the last few months there have been new drugs added that are just astounding. No I can't expect to be cured, but he foresees me having many more years than he first thought. He told me about a male patient about my age with the same sort of cancer as mine that tried a new oral chemotherapy that worked so well he was able to return to work full time. Get this, he does construction work!
Prayer is a powerful thing.
