Buel is not a candidate for the chemo beads. He has too much diseased liver. The only other choice he has to is take 3 chemo drugs together, all of which he has taken before without success, but he has never taken all 3 at the same time. He is going to give him these 3 drugs every other week for 3 weeks, then do scans to see what is happening. If there is any improvement, they will continue. If this does not help, then he is at the end of the road. There are no other options because he has done everything there is available. They are going to give him the 3 chemo drugs started at 7:30 tonight. We will stay the night here and then come home sometime in the morning. The Dr. told him that if this doesn't work that he will give him pain pills to keep him comfortable but that he didn't think he would be in that much pain in the end. He said he wished he had more to offer but that everything had already been done without any success. Please pray for a miracle at this point. P.S. The chemo they are giving him tonight is not the same chemo that they cancelled this morning. That chemo was Erbitux. The 3 he is taking tonight is Camptostar, Avastin and Oxaliplatin. Thanks, Tommie
