All 3 of the kids joined me at my doctor's visit today to hear about my choices as we enter the next phase of this journey. I can always go back to 2 of the chemos I've been on before (they didn't do a lot...but they slowed the growth down a little) or I can try a new new drug called Navelbine that may or may not do the trick, but we'll never know if we never try. I'll go to the clinic once a week for blood work, doctor's appointment then an infusion. I'll do this for 3 weeks in a row then have a week off. I won't get scanned again for 2 months. After that, we'll check it out to see if the progression has stopped or at least slowed down. I'm running out of options at this point, so let's just keep thinking positive thoughts about Navelbine...you never know....it could be my new TARCEVA :)
While waiting for the doc this morning, we had the nurse take a new family photo. Not bad for 4 worried faces?

Keep strong Doreen. I'm in a new clinical trial myself; we always have to try. You do have a beautiful family. Sending lots of hugs and prayers!
