Hello All,
It has been a roller coaster ride of emotions since my husbands blood work in late Dec. It suggested that he was not eligible for more treatments due to his creatine levels (kidney function numbers) being elevated. The Dr. was not convinced they would come back down, so we were seeking alternative options including but not limited to Clinical Trials.
Well I am happy to report that his blood work and urinalysis came back this week, and he is in perfect health....
His whole metabolic profile was normal!
Other than the fact that he has Metastatic Bladder Cancer...he is just fine...
How weird is that?
My husband has been laughing all morning because he has NEVER had his blood work (even prior to cancer) come back perfect...Now that he is essentially dying...his blood work is normal??
There has always been something to address whether it be cholesterol, blood pressure,
Blood sugar, Triglycerides etc...
So we are back on the treatment bandwagon.
He will start "Zometa" on Valentines Day...he has to have all dental work completed prior to starting this drug...
He will also be starting a new regiment of Chemo including Taxol. They are still trying to decide on the Combination to make sure it will be a low enough dose as to not effect his kidneys too much...
We are obviously very pleased with the news, and actually excited to be eligible to get Chemo again, as strange as that seems...
I will update again when I have more information to share...

You are always in my prayers, and please keep posting what you find in clinical trials.
