I went in to see my oncologist and have treatment yesterday. The treatment went well, although I got a bit sick from the sandostatin when I got home. It is an order of magnitude less then my previous treatments, however. I am feeling much better today, compared to previous treatments where it took me five to seven days to recover.
David (my brother) came along to meet with the oncologist. The plan is to continue with the present regime of shots (standostatin) and pills (Xeloda) along with treatment for my bones (Zometa) and crohn's disease (Remicade, possibly; or something similar). When I get back from New York, I'll have another CAT scan and see where things are. If they are stable, we'll continue on this regime, and if not, there is a new drug recently approved (RADD-1) which the oncologist is very enthused about. Most likely I'll also go back on Avastin when I get back. Things are looking good and I am feeling very good.
