We went to Dana Farber yesterday and while Ricky's blood counts were okay, we decided after our consultation with the doctors to discontinue the Avastin. It had worked well for us, but the cancer found a way to get around it, like it did for all the other treatments we tried.
Ricky got his monthly antibiotic and another one via IV to try and knock out the low grade fever he has been having.
He's sleeping more each day, has no pain and he seems content. He enjoys his visitors, even if he isn't saying much. He was able to pick up and eat a cheeseburger and fries by himself yesterday, something he hadn't done the last few days. Deirdre went to the market to get him Gorton's fish sticks, one of his favorites, for dinner tonight, I'm sure he'll have the leftovers for Friday's crazy breakfast.
Thank you agin for the prayers and good thoughts.
Bill
