My dad is back to everyday radiation and a new Chemo called Gemzar. They have stopped the Avastin now (it was recalled for some people with breast cancer) as it was extremely expensive (I want to say $8,000.00 per bag) - just ridiculous! The two cancers in his lungs have shrunk (the good news) and the one on his shoulder and the one on his lymph nodes grew a little (this was because they had stopped radiation for three months.
So now we are back on a new track.....Let's hope THIS train knows where it is going.

Isn't is baffling as to why the important medicines are so expensive?!! Keeping my fingers crossed for good results from the new treatment. I'll add some prayers, too :)
I hope this new combination works well for your father. Sending healing and positive vibes his way!
Thank you both for your thoughts and prayers.
