Sorry for so much time going by since the last update. We ended up talking to the Chicago oncologist several weeks ago, and although she had some concern about the gallbladder she didn’t have us change our current path of treatment to switching from FOLFOX to using FOLFIRI. So Rebecca got treatment last Monday. It was pretty much the same thing, taking the same amount of time, just they used a different drug for part of it.

Side effects were also similar (except that she no longer has any cold sensitivity with this new drug – yay!). Still makes her nauseous, and tired though.

We met with the Oncologist today for our pre-treatment. Rebecca mentioned that she is having some strange vision issues in the morning with seeing lights in her vision and some other things. They decided to hold off chemo now on Monday, and we will be instead seeing a ophthalmologist to check her ocular nerve (and eyes in general), and they also want to do an MRI of her brain to make sure nothing is going on up there ( trying to hold back from making a joke here). This is just a precaution though as they feel like it’s probably just a side effect of the treatment, but they want to be sure. So for now the next chemo is postponed to the following Monday (29th).

I’m writing this from the car as we are on our way up to MTU to see Abigail for Parent’s Weekend! We are going to hang with her until Sunday, and then back home late Sunday night. Also Abigail is back in town this coming week for us to all go to see Twenty One Pilots.

Picture above was an impromptu visit to Main Event to bowl a little and play some games with Annabelle.

I’ll provide an update later next week when we know more from doctor visits (probably seeing ophthalmologist in Evanston Tuesday morning, and then we’ll find out if Rebecca has a brain Tuesday evening, followed by oncologist on Thursday).
