Tumor Board

Dr. Skinner reported back to us today about the findings of the tumor board regarding Kevin's treatment.

Basically they were divided.

Some would have done no treatment beyond surgery. Some suggested surgery then 5 to 8 weeks of chemoradiation. Some leaned toward doing Kevin's original FOLFLOX protocol where chemoradiation was sandwiched in the middle. Some thought 12 FOLFLOX treatments was the way to go.

It was both frustrating and reassuring.

Frustrating because we would have liked her to come back and say the overwhelming response was that he had already done more than enough treatment.

Reassuring in the sense of acknowledging that it wasn't an easy decision to make and there isn't a definitely "right" treatment path to follow.
