Kicked Out!

Ok so the title isn't exactly the truth, but it grabbed your attention, am I right?

Yesterday we went to Karmanos for Tim's infusion. On Friday last week he had a CT scan. So we were met in the hallway by one of Dr. Heath's nurses. She told us Tim needed to go to the 5th floor for his labs not the lab on the 1st floor, as he was previously told. Then we were to go back downstairs for the appt with Dr. Heath. After a little chit chat she told us the results of his CT scan. Yes, you guessed it, his lesions are growing. They are not growing fast and did not meet the 20% growth that is protocol for being kicked out of the drug trial. However, it was about a 14% overall growth. So Tim decided to stop this drug trial and wait for the next one. The positive thing is that Tim is fairly healthy and that Karmanos has 70+ drug trials. So it shouldn't be long before they find another one for him. The other positive thing is that he does not have any new lesions. Mentally this always takes us a day or two to get through. I think it's just a loss of anything there is a grieving process. I told him not to get down about it, but who cried on the way home yesterday...yeah me. So that's where we're at right now. I have also heard about unemployment being extended again. It's kind of confusing to decipher if I will get it or not. I highly doubt it, it would be nice this time of year to have that, as things are really tough.

Things will get better I know they will!
