Dear friends, i knew yesterday we had new challenges, Lainey's ca125 shot up to 122, that plus her pain and decreasing strength and i knew today we would get some tough news. The conclusion of the c.t. scan is as follows : "Marked increase in size and number of hepatic metastasis'. Translation the cancer in her liver is growing and spreading.
We see her doctor in Walnut Creek on Thursday where they will recommend a different chemo "Doxil". We will start that next Tuesday. We will get a second opinion at Stanford on Monday, and pending our meeting there may well transfer Lainey's treatment to Stanford. It's further away and a larger facility but we feel she will get closer scrutiny there and hopefully the highest possible level of treatment.
My Lainey is a brick , she is shell shocked but handled it with great strength and dignity. I on the other hand, found out an hour before her and bawled my head off before i got it together to tell her. She is the most precious person in the world to me, the love of my life.
We have talked and are determined to fight on and win.Please pray for us, and when things calm down , come and see us and help us through these dark days, I/we will need everyone of our friends and family. We love you all Keith and the mighty cancerbuttkicking Lainey.
