Raney

Raney had her scan today. Although the tumor had not grown bigger or smaller, it had changed, which the Dr. did not like. So Raney will now stop taking Tarceva, and go on a traditional chemotherapy course of Taxol/Carboplatin along with Avastin, given together at one time every three weeks. This will most likely last for 4-6 rounds if it is successful, followed by just Avastin for as long as that works.

Unfortunately, being a more traditional chemo, Raney will suffer the side effects of nausea and hair loss. I know this will make it increasingly difficult for her to care for her three month old baby and 4 year old son. Continue to pray for her, her husband Chris and their boys, Jaren and Conor.
