Keep going….

Troy’s tumor numbers continued to look worse and worse. I did some research and found that UT Southwestern in Dallas had an oncologist which specialized in esophageal cancer. I thought maybe he would have some fresh ideas on how to get Troy’s numbers moving in the right direction. I made an appointment and after we met with the oncologist he came up with a new plan. His chemo cocktail was changed. We were praying it would help. Thank God he wasn’t nauseated from it, he was just still in a lot of pain from the radiation. The next round of blood work looked promising. His tumor numbers were moving in the right direction. He also had to have an injection every other week that costs $10,000, it was to boost his white blood cell count. I was so shocked when I saw how much the injection costs. Fingers crossed, we moved forward. Thank you God. We were now in 2014, I prayed that Troy would continue to move in the right direction.
