Dad had another CT scan for follow up with spot on liver. Came back negative, so they are progressing with the plan of care. Pathology report is also back, gene is not mutated so that disqualifies him from the trial. Dad has decided to stay in Charlotte for the chemo treatments. His main reason was that if problems occurred he would be 2 1/2 hours away.
He met again with Dr. Freenett and had all questions answered to Dad's satisfaction. Dad got to tour the infusion facility, meet the staff. He had a teaching session the next day with the head RN. Dad is scheduled to have port placed next Thursday at 0730 so hopefully he will be home around lunch time.
Scheduled for 1st round of chemo on November 23rd. Infusion takes 5 hours, then a pump is placed for 2 days, then he has to have pump removed for 12 days until the next round starts.
I am hoping to go to be with him. Duke sure would have been closer, but no matter what he is my Dad and what else, is really more important? Absolutely nothing!
