Xeloda here we come!
I'm being switched to a pill Xeloda in 2016! No more Gemzar and Abraxain for now. The last treatment was a little hard on me.

Chemo again Round 11
Good first day after a chemo break. Hopefully just 5 more times before I switch to the Xeloda pill

More good news!
I received my PET scan results today...NO evidence of cancer! From here I get 6 more treatments of chemo (gemzar and abraxain) over 12 weeks. After that I'll be put on a pill. My oncologist calls it a miracle. Praise God!!!

Great news!
I received the test results from a urine test I took recently. It showed no signs of KRAS which means no signs of cancer! I have a PET scan next week. Depending on the results of all these tests I may receive two more rounds of gemzar and abraxane followed by a pill every other week called Xeloda. I'm currently No Evidence of Disease (NED)! Praise God!

Home again!
Jay was discharged today. He is doing well. Hopefully he will have the opportunity for a chemo break. Lord knows he needs one. We will know more when he goes to the doctor Monday.

Hospital again...
Jay was hospitalized again for low blood counts. They are giving blood and platelets. He had a CT and we will get the results Wednesday morning. Hopefully there isn't a bleed. Seems he can't catch a break on the new chemo.
We appreciate the prayers.
