Sometimes no news is good news.

Rick has continued to be stable in regards to his treatments and overall condition. His platelets remain pretty much the same at 62,000. We will most likely dose reduce the Irinatecan next week in the hopes of getting his numbers up. He’s feeling “great!” (his words) and enjoying summer to the fullest. We continue to be concerned about the risks of infection, stroke, seizure, hemorrhage and of course the tumor growing back.

These treatments are a balancing act and tradeoffs have to be made. We can only hope we are making the right choices.

Please keep the prayers and good thoughts coming our way.

Thank you!
