Well we had Zoey's doctors appointment Tuesday, the growth on her neck is 5 times larger than a month ago and the Cytoxin doesn't seem to be working, the good news is that her blood test came back normal so shes not having an adverse reaction to the drugs. However, with the growths on her left shoulder and the large lump on her neck we decided to try a new type of therapy drug. This one is called Palladia, it's currently under study at the University of Washington for a different type of cancer but at this point its a Hail Mary to see if we can get this cancer to slow down. Since its much more potent then the Cytoxin she has another appointment in a week, then another in two weeks to see if she has any negative effects. Apparently the effects can be very nasty and the whole goal of this therapy is to extend the quality of her life and if that is affected in any way then we will stop the treatment.
