Dave had a pretty good day today. The intestinal "reboot" shows signs of working. They removed the catheter and Dave produced a little bit of pee (the nurse said it wasn't enough to count, but Dave disagrees!). He also had a bit of diarrhea and some cramping of the lower bowel which, though uncomfortable, is a good sign.
Dave and Joanne met with his oncologist today and decided to start a supplemental IV chemotherapy tomorrow. The drug they plan to try is usually used for colon cancer (often in conjunction with Avastin) - it's a long shot, but it's worth a try. Pray that it works!

Praying, praying, praying! I'd come see you, but since most of our conversations consist of arm hitting, I'd probably better not. Hugs instead! Patty
