Hi everyone well here's what we found out

1. Tumor size in the liver has increased and is pushing on the bile duct

2. Phil has somehow lost about 10 lbs. He must be emptying his shoes because

he eats like a horse!

3. Tuesday he;ll start a new chemo regimen:

5FU Leucovorin and Camptosar as well as Erbitux

most common side effects being diarrhea and an itchy acne like rash

(JOY!!)

4. The jaundice is still pretty bad but they say that should resolved by the

chemo or they may wind up doing some minor GI surgery to help relieve the

pressure on the bile duct.

My emotional state is 100% better now that he is HOME

Thanks for all your prayers and support

Gearing up to whack this beast's head off Kick cancer butt whatever

It Ain't over yet! With God's help and your prayers we can do it.

Actually, Phil may want and hope for the rash. The research I have

read and my onc told me - that if you get a heavy rash the erbitux is

working well. I had a very heavy rash. The nurses kept telling me

to be proud of it. I had to take antibiotics several times because

it got infected. I had it on my scalp which was the worst part of

the whole thing. I stopped the erbitux about 6 weeks ago and the

rash is still visible but fading slowly. Mine really did not itch,

it just looked bad. Luckily I only had it severe on my face at the

beginning then it went from my chin down. Praying that everything

goes well for you.
