After nearly a week of agonizing waiting we travelled to Miami to meet with Dr. Gulec and learn of his final decision. He remains hesitant to give the second round of spheres to Dennis's left lobe due to Dennis's liver function. Although we are disappointed we hope the picture will change and it will be an option in the near future. Dr. Gulec and Dr. Ardalan have spoken at length and we will return to Miami's Sylvester Cancer Center on Monday June 7th and resume therapy with Dr. Ardalan. We're not sure what our new attack will be but we are happy to know there is something more we can do.
Dennis also had a second paracentesis done today outpatient at Jackson North to remove 1 liter of the ascites fluid from his abdomen and he feels much better!
Looking forward!

but eventually it will subside and something else will take it's place.
If I quit,however,it lasts forever."
