Mitchell's MRI was read this morning, and everything is clear in his brain. WHEW! The headaches are definitely being caused by the abraxane.
On a negative tip, the oncologist and a specialist have had an opportunity to compare Mitchell's last CT with the most recent PET scan. The experimental treatment is not working. His tumor markers have elevated since beginning the new treatment....So it's back to the drawing board so to speak. The abraxane/avastin has been discontinued as of this morning. Mitchell was supposed to have treatment on Friday, but it is being put on hold until Dr. Brown can consult with a colleague to decide what the next steps are.
