KarHart Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ken goes back to Moffitt on Friday for scans and to see the dr. and possibly a 3rd Avastin infusion. Unfortunately, every time he has a scan it is bad news. He has been on the Tarceva/Avastin for 6 weeks. I suppose if the tumors in the liver are still growing they will stop the treatment. I really don't know where to go after that. I want to look into cyberknife on the liver tumors again, but I think Ken is reaching a state where he just doesn't feel like trying anything else. I can't believe that there just isn't something that could at least help for awhile. We have never even heard the word stable. So,I am dreading Friday.
