Nolan with his Beads Of Courage! |
Not sure how I feel about this yet. Instead of Nolan getting weekly carboplatin (chemo) infusions he will take 5 days of oral temodar (chemo) a month. Sounds nice, I think. Difference would be, Nolan's last dose of carboplatin was almost 3 years ago, his last dose of temodar was 6 months ago. If it didn't work back then, will it work now? (that was my question) Her response was, "sometimes used in different combinations." All we can do is trust and pray! He will still continue Avastin infusions bi-weekly and he starts Everolimus (new chemo medication) tonight.
His examination went well. I believe Dr. Aguilera is still impressed that Nolan didn't have more symptoms from the radiation. She just warned me that it can stay in his body for a while and he can have some delayed symptoms. The only thing we can see right now is his right eye does not seem to be tracking like his left eye. Hopefully it will just be temporary.
Thank you for all the prayers, love and support!
Happy New year!
