Day 15 of clinical trial cycle #2 - Abraxane cancelled due to too-low platelet count. Dan will get his blood rechecked Friday.

Dan’s bloodwork rechecked - low but stable

We didn’t make it to PA for Marilyn and Ed’s wedding … Dan wasn’t up to the trip.

Here’s Dan with his family’s cat Audrey, on Thanksgiving Day before dinner at their house.

Clinical trial 2, cycle 2 - Abraxane 3/4 dose

Bloodwork good, weight stable - working on steroid prescription coverage

Day 1 of Cycle 2 of the chemo clinical trial - 3/4 dose of Abraxane, full dose of carboplatin, Darbepoetin shot to boost his red blood cells.

Re-evaluation of keeping Dan in the Abraxane trial for a 2nd cycle: it’s a go. Dan got an anabolic steroid prescription to help him with his appetite and weight loss, but we’ll have to challenge our prescription insurer to try to get it paid-for.

Dan’s blood counts are much better as of the Friday before we decide whether Dan should proceed with the 2nd cycle of the Abraxane trial.
