Rick's platelets were up to 74,000 on Monday. The Monday scans gave the doctors more data, and this will help us moving forward. There was no significant tumor growth between the MRI last Thursday and Monday's scans.
Blue Cross has approved the Avastin and CPT-11 drugs, and we are starting Tuesday. It will be infused every two weeks, thru his port. He's going to his Grandparents in Albany for Easter so this should work out well. As mentioned earlier, Blue Cross has been a godsend for us.
There has been some great success with this combination and we are planning to be one of them.
Google Avastin and CPT-11 for more information on what may be our miracle.
Till the next update.........please keep the good thoughts and prayers headed our way.

Bill,
From time to time I catch up with everyone. It is hard sometime to ask how things are with the family when you are dealing with such a serious illness. I know it effects not only Rickie but the whole family. I am glad that you keep this site so up to date.
The news is good from what I read. I wish you the best and Rickie the world.
Your friend.
Bruce Garcia
