Last Wednesday, November 4, Ed received chemo treatment no. 12.
First, he saw Dr. Splichal briefly. Dr. Splichal confirmed that Ed is still doing very well on chemo with Irinotecan and Avastin. He maintained his weight; 191.6 pounds. His blood work was all very, very good. His blood was a little thin, so he changed the coumidin dosage to (1) 2.5 mg tablet one day, alternating the next day with (1-1/2) 2.5 mg tablets of coumidin. His blood pressure looked great.
Chemo went smoothly and mostly uneventful. It did take, for the first time since this journey began, two sticks to get the IV started. Other than that, everything was fine.
Dr. Splichal ordered a MRI of the brain for Ed on Wednesday, November 11. It is time to check the progress of the chemo treatments.
