More Treatment May be Coming

Here is some interesting news. We went to the cancer doctor on 3/12 to review
the results of my March blood test. From our last discussion with him, we fully expected
to find another increase in the protien in my urine and to be started on a new round of chemo
using pills.
.
Well to our surprise, all of the indicators being monitored went DOWN! He could not
explain this and decided to wait for an April test to see which direction things are going.
.
Either the February spike UP or the March spike DOWN is a fluke and we have to decide
which before starting chemo.
.
It still appears that we will be able to get away for the summer - he said that the
chemo pills can be perscribed even if I am on the road. I will have to go in for
more frequent blood tests to make sure that there are no (or limited) side effects.
