University Hospital called this morning to reschedule my Thursday appt. The doctor will be out of town. They wanted to schedule it for next week, but we will be in Mexico. Ole! So, now it's put out until 12/18, the day that my mother comes into town.
I am concerned about having been off treatment for about 2 months by that time. I am having increased abdominal discomfort and other distasteful things. I will see my oncologist on Wednesday to check things before we leave.
Needless to say, these recent changes have me a bit worried. I've asked to have blood drawn for a CA19-9, so we can see if my tumor marker numbers have increased drastically. If so, and the disease is moving right along, will I have time to be off proven medications to test out unproven medications?
Right now I feel as if I am in a race. I doubt I will win it, but I at least hope to go in the right direction.

Do you know how well you set-up a completely inappropriate joke for me? You've got to be more careful or I may just have to start horrifying the other readers of your blog.
It seems like you have a difficult choice to make--should you go for the trial which holds a potential for helping you further, but at the possible expense of letting the cancer make more progress?
Hell of a choice.
Guess you need to get in-touch with your inner gambler.
