Update on Keith's Health
(updated February 21, 2010)

Chemo treatments are going as normal. This round of treatments will last until the end of March which will conclude the “standard” six months of treatment. The side effects still remain and are a little longer and are a little stronger with each session. What happens after March will depend on this week’s tests.

His retinal bleeding in the right eye is still being treated with injections. The result of the last evaluation indicates it does not seem to be getting any worse, which for right now is all that they want to see.

His cardiac evaluation is coming up soon, although the cardiologist is deferring to the Oncologist so he hasn't scheduled any tests as of yet to evaluate the status of the other blockages to see if they have increased or been kept in check by the medications.

Keith started the second round of chemo early November. In this round a new drug was added, which makes for what they call 'combination therapy.' It takes about four hours to receive the new treatment, so this means he now has what is called 'long days' and 'short days' of treatments. Keith now goes in on both Mondays and Tuesday for the 'long days' of treatment. For now this new regimen is scheduled with each Monday and Tuesday in a week now alternating between the 'short days' of treatment on the regular chemo, followed the next week by 'long days' of treatment on the 'combination therapy.' Plus there are now blood profiles every other week. With this new regimen he gets quite a bit sicker and has more side effects. In fact he takes a powerful anit-nauseant to help out.

A problem has developed with his eyesight. It’s not definite but it seems like it may be more related to his heart condition and associated medications. The retina in Keith’s right eye has started to bleed, and as a result his vision in that eye has been weakened. Since it’s very possible he could go blind in that eye, specialists are allowing him to try an 'off label' treatment with a drug that is not presently “approved,” but has been showing promise in trials. It is hoped that the drug can arrest the bleeding, (or at least slow it down), which it has shown to do in a certain number of similar cases. 

Keith still has all his hair!

Here’s a brief update concerning Keith’s health. He began weekly chemotherapy treatments mid-September for what’s been diagnosed as stage 3 colon cancer. Initially he did not experience any strong side effects but recently they have become stronger (in particular the nausea fatigue and diarrhea). Since it’s early in the treatment phase the doctor’s are unable to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments.

Keith wrote recently, “I am enjoying everything for the sake of the effectual working of God's word, and have the hope of continuing to do so.”
