Vicki had a mixed Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday she became very sick and spent the entire day in bed. Sunday she was a little better but still mostly bed-ridden. Fortunately, by Monday she began to recover a bit and rallied for the end of the day and a nice dinner with our friend Sheila and her family. Olin arrived back from SC and Alabama just in time for grilled steaks and salmon.
Yesterday we met with Dr. Marshall at the Lombardi Cancer Center. He said he thought Vicki was doing reasonably well considering all she has been through. Still no new growth of the cancer, liver is functioning sufficiently, and blood counts were close to normal.
So Dr. Marshall recommended that Vicki continue chemotherapy treatments, but he modified the treatments to make them easier on Vicki. She has switched to an oral chemotherapy agent called Xeloda and is still receiving the Avastin via IV. Vicki and her dad went to Georgetown today for the Avastin treatment. We will meet with Dr. Marshall again on June 20th, and have another chemotherapy treatment that afternoon.
