Lynne is working through the physical therapy and building her strength. She met with the oncologist and starts a chemotherapy regimen of Avastin and Irinotecan tomorrow. She will receive the treatments every two weeks until the next MRI scan to determine the effect on the tumor. The Avastin works by inhibiting the cancer cells’ ability to create or maintain vessels for their blood supply needed for continued growth. Avastin was FDA approved in May 2009 and according to some reports shows promise for recurrent Glioblastoma Muliforme brain tumors.
We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers on our behalf. You can expect the frequency of blog posts to slow when things are somewhat stable.
Regards,
Darryl
