Preliminary results came back. Cancer is still there. Not good news. I'm heading down today to meet up with Mom, Wendy, Craig and Nancy. We'll talk to the doctors today to see what the plan is from here. Sounds like there's another treatment option available that's had success before. Let's hope.
UPDATE:
We're here at UCSF and it looks like they'd like to give dad a break before starting the next round of chemo. He'll most likely go home today, have blood tests every couple of days, then return to the hospital a week from Monday. The next treatment plan will be a 5 day course of chemo drugs, with a 3 week recuperation.
At this point, there is still a slim chance of remission, but it's not likely. The doctor did tell us that we should look into clinical trials at clinicaltrials.gov. He thinks there might be some at Stanford and City of Hope in Los Angeles. We'll look into those and see if he is a candidate.
