For those of you who have been reading some of my posts, my Dad has Stage IV Colon Cancer. He is half way through his first round of treatments, 5fu+ Oxiplatin+ Erbitux...and he is doing GREAT! He is not sick, he is not losing weight, he is still going to work, his appetite is wonderful, is energy level is up and his blood work is perfect!
We went to meet with his Oncologist today for a mis-point check up and he said that my Dad looks, "really well." However, he said that he would not know anything for sure until he got a CT scan in another 4 weeks. This made me really nervous. I guess I was expecting him to say something more along the lines of, "I think your CT scan will show imrpovment." That is not what I received. Instead he told us to, "keep our fingers crossed" and that "we are giving this our best shot!"
After watching my Dad over these past few weeks and how he feels better and better everyday, I was hoping for more! Besides the rash he has received from the Erbitux, the rest is seemingly unnoticed.
I don't really know what I am posting for. I think I just want to hear that since he is doing so well and his blood looks good that there WILL be an improvment in his CT scan in 4 weeks.
Sorry for the rambling...and thanks everyone for all of your help.
