Full dose

Craig jumped up to the full dose of Sutent last Wed. Aug. 18. It's been almost a week and he is tolerating it pretty well. He spends a little more time in the bathroom but that's been his norm since cancer. We will see Dr. Jones next week and do some blood work and see about a scan. Hopefully he won't see more symptoms as it builds up in his system. Now as I'm writing this he tells me the oxycodone isn't giving him as much relief from the pain as it usually does. He is being more active than he was so his body gets more tired as the day wears on (and he is 55, aren't all of us feeling a little more tired as the day wears on!). Thanks for thinking of us.

  3. If Craig weren't such an amazingly strong man, these postings would be different. I'm so amazed at the exemplary way you Doutres are facing this awful enemy. You are inspirational to us all - XOXOX Kathy
