Health knowledge made personal
 Today we drove to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance , about 2 hours from our home. Ron is seen by Dr. Lin , a Colorectal Cancer specialist there, about every 2 months. The doctor prescribes the treatment plan carried out by Ron's local Oncologist. Here is what we learned today: 2) There are two new drugs being approved by the FDA which are an option for him (he has the KRAS mutation). 3) Clinical trials also continue to be a possibility. 4) Ron will have a PET scan next month, as it has been quite awhile since his last one. If any "hot spots" happen to be found, the doctor recommends radiation to those target areas. 5) As for now, we will "stay the course!" |
