Chemotherapy to start April 16

David had an appointment with his neuro-oncologist today. 



Since an MRI in January, his tumor has grown slightly so they are continuing on the path to begin chemotherapy treatments. These are set to start on April 16. The Baylor Tumor Board agreed that this was the correct treatment option for this grade of tumor.



The treatment is taken two pills per day for one week of every month for one year. He will need to take off of work on the fifth and sixth days of each treatment week as the fatigue will cause him to be too tired to function on those days.



More news next week after he begins treatment.
