Tuesday / Wednesday 11/19-20 Brain Tumor
Morning radiation Tuesday morning and then off to a client meeting with his amazing boss Dave Haslam in Vegas.
At 4pm on Wednesday we had an appointment with Dr. Vikas Rao, the Neurosurgeon near Mission Hospital. He is also thinking the tumor is not cancerous and is probably not a problem. He says Brace has much bigger fish to fry. He will be measuring the size when they do the next MRI for his face and brain to determine the growth rate. We have an appointment for February to see what they want to do once we are done with the cancer treatments.
Then off to radiation #7 at 6:10 and then home to eat a nice meal and collapse.
Thursday. 11/21 Chemo #2.1
Blood tests this morning at 7:30am. 8:30am Chemo 2.1 started and it was the first day of chemo with the port. 10:00am Blue Cross approves immunotherapy in peer to peer review with Dr. Carroll. He was pretty stoked that he got them to approve it. I think Immunotherapy costs about $250,000 if Google can be trusted. (I'm not sure they can be trusted).
Chemo will now be 7 hours due to the extra infusion. (only on day 1 of the series of three days). Then after all that he will come home and head over to radiation. Chemo is Friday and Saturday too. It will be a rough weekend. He has almost no energy, but this is what we signed up for.
Immonotherapy & Handicapped Placard
The drugs that we thought were part of the immunotherapy are anti-nausea drugs. He takes those the first four days of chemo. He took it this morning and it totally knocked him out. They said he should take it night from now on. Live and learn. After the drugs wore off, he was joking again. Karen was relieved.
The immunotherapy is given as an infusion the last hour of chemo on the first day. It is called Atezolizumab or the trade name Tecentriq.
DMV paperwork. We got the DMV paperwork signed by the doctor so he could get a disabled placard for the car. As my girls know, Brace likes to park far usually, but he will be a gimp for quite a few months so he thought that getting a placard was a good idea.
Thank you's.
Michelle for doing my Christmas notebooks - they are so beautiful!
