Eric continues to improve and become more his old self every day – and will be starting his second round of chemotherapy on March 6th.
After his third and final session, we’ll be heading back to MD Anderson in Texas – for scans on April 25th – and an appointment with Dr Kaseb (an oncologist quite familiar with Fibrolamellar) on April 26th.
We have faith that the scans will indicate enough ‘debulking’ to make surgery an option.
Once again, Dr Reingold will be applying to OHIP for pre-approval for out-of-country service (which will include letters written by the two Ontario surgeons who declined operating on Eric). We will also be submitting letters from Dr’s Vauthey and Kaseb (supporting surgery as the best treatment for FHC whenever possible) – as well as other supporting documentation of case studies to this effect.
So – at this point, it’s ‘wait and see’. Either way, our flight is booked – the appointments are set – and we are all eager to get to Texas (where it will be nice and warm by the end of April). This time we’ll be packing sunscreen and swimsuits!
Thanks to all who continue to offer donations, support and prayers!
