It Is What It Is.....

Phrase of the week.  Even guests on the Dan Patrick Show were saying it.

Let me explain why we are saying it.

A while back (May 5), we reported on the scan results I had.  As we stated then, the news was some good and some not so good.  At that time, all that meant was that we were not going to get a "vacation" from treatments.  So, we needed to make our travel back to Ohio in time to meet with my "new" Cleveland Clinic Oncologist.  We made the change in doctors to be more convenient for our location this year (Amherst - west of Cleveland).

I had my first appointment with Dr. Spiro at the Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center in Fairview Park on Wednesday.  Upon reviewing the results from Texas, he recommended that we go back to the more aggressive treatment from last summer.  <Sigh>.  It is what it is.

The increased chemo is necessary since there was some progression in the scans.  The brain is holding stable as are most of the bone mets.  The areas of concern are the lungs.

So, it is what it is and we will do what we need to do for now.

Tomorrow will be the first treatment this go round.  Will try and keep everyone posted throughout the summer.

Thanks to everyone for the love, prayers, and support.
