Well...
Arriving at Dr. Esplin's office today, we immediately "sensed" something different....
A new Oncologist came into the room and announced..
"Dr. Esplin is on medical leave and I am your new doctor!"
Wow....
I cannot put into words what it felt like to me, and I will not describe the look on Jim's face for fear of not completely sharing the whole picture....
The new treatment plan will include Tarveca...
We have asked every at every appointment about this new drug to treat Jim's rare form of lung cancer......
Tomorrow he will have another IV chemotherapy, Alimta, and we will receive the oral chemotherapy by mail in a few weeks...
I will write more later...
I have to recover from all this news... We are hopeful, but a little afraid of this new plan for his care so suddenly decided for us...
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers....
Karron
(and.... not only is Jim's hair white.... it is curly!)
