So the entire colorectal team decided that they want to have Alan stay the course for now. So he will go down to nivolumab only as planned! BUT they want to keep a close eye on him just in case the growth is not pseudo growth but real. So instead of the standard 3 month scan, he will have one after 2 months.
So his first treatment is this week, then every other week for a total of 4 treatments of nivolumab only. Then they will scan him again and see if the growth has become stable or decreased.
Side effects may still increase as the half life on the drugs is quite long and are not expected to decrease.
Prayer Requests:
- Positive attitudes to continue in and around us
- Side effects to continue to be minimal
- Nivo only to kick Marvin K Mooney out of Alan's body
- Continued patience as we now wait for definitive results in 2 months
- For a sweet time this weekend in College Station
Thank you all for your continued faithfulness in praying over these needs. Thank you all for loving on us.
