This morning we met with Dr Kaseb; an oncologist with just about as much experience with Fibrolamellar as anyone in the world. Having heard many good things about him, I wasn’t disappointed. He’s given us a comprehensive chemo plan; the goal being to shrink the tumours, stabilize the disease – to the point that Dr Vauthey can operate.
Tomorrow, we head back to MD Anderson – to pick up all the reports, CD’s and pathology that we sent down for review – and for a write-up from Dr’s Vauthey and Kaseb. Once the 2 courses of intense chemo (involving a week each of hospilization) are complete, we will return to MD Anderson (tentatively in March). WHEN the response is positive, we remain optimistic that Eric will be a good candidate for surgery.
In conclusion, while we are disappointed that surgery won’t happen immediately, we have the utmost faith in the new plan.
Thanks, as always, to everyone who’s supported us along the way.
