So here we are on the second round of Temador not knowing whether it is working or not. From the visible mets it doesn't look very promising.
He just finished 5 rounds of WBR which really for him he said was the hardest treatment so far. Ended up in the hospital to check for a suspected blood clot on his lung due a pain in that area but fortunately was ruled out. No explanation was given, they just gave him oxycodene for the pain.

He is more tired, but still up and about (I am hoping this is just the treatments and not the disease). Where to next? Who knows. Feeling quite sad for the what the future holds and I only hope that the WBR and temador can stabilise things enough to get him on another trial. We have lost so many lately and the reality is far to hard for me to contemplate at the moment. I am very close to my dad and cannot imagine him not here.

Gosh, Nahmi, I can hear your sadness. The hard times are to be expected in our lives, but that doesn't make weathering them any easier. You and your father will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your strength and love for your dad is very strong medicine in itself.

Nahmi, thanks for the update. Just wondering if you found any clinical trials that might be suitable for your dad? Unfortunately, the eligibility criteria for most trials are pretty strict. However, one never knows when a suitable trial might become available.
Take care
