Matthew had his appointment with the new doctor that performs the HIPEC procedure. http://www.hipectreatment.com/documents/hipec.php
This procedure involves using heated chemotherapy solution during surgery. It is not considered standard-of-care for colon cancer, so there are some hoops to jump through. The doctor has ordered a MRI, which will take place in two weeks. After the MRI, the doctor will take the results to a panel of doctors, who will make a decision about the procedure. We Are expecting the decision toward the end of September.
Matthew has continued his chemo (minus the drug that was affecting his liver). His platelet counts have dropped a bit, but have remained high enough to continue. He recently completed round 9.
Matthew's fight continues...please continue to pray.
