After doing our research and weighing the options, we have decided to go for the clinical trial which uses a five drug daily cocktail taken orally, with Avastin every two weeks by IV. While Ricky did clear the wait list for the other program, it involved another MRI and a PET scan, both of which are things Ricky would find very invasive right now. We have also decided that if this new plan causes his quality of life to decline, we will most likely stop.
We hope to start the new treatments Wednesday, assuming his platelets are over 75K. He's had a bad cold since Saturday, not feeling well at all.
