Rick and I had a wonderful weekend in Vermont with my sister, brother in law and two cousins. It’s his favorite place to go, and he never stopped going the entire weekend! He must have walked eight miles. No symptoms all weekend! He was back at school full time Monday. He is super positive and continues to not let his medical issues become the center of his life. He just deals with it.
Yesterday we had our bi-weekly appointment at Dana Farber. His check-up was very good, and he is exceeding the doctor’s expectations. While we don’t know for sure what is happening, she is feeling pretty positive that the medicines may be working since he’s been so stable. His platelets did drop to 51,000, which required us to go back to the original starting dose of irinotecan, but we still got both chemo drugs plus the monthly antibiotic and he tolerated the infusions well. You can google “irinotecan GBM” for more on this therapy. Thai food for dinner!
Next step is a blood test next Tuesday to check platelets.
