Larry decided to go with Dr. Adess at North Shore University. Larry made a decision to try the 4 drug chemo cocktail, Fofirinox. He will be starting chemotherapy on July 9th. I will be staying and driving him to Highland Park Hospital where he will be getting his 6 hour chemo cocktail on Mondays. Larry Kyo has agreed to split the day with me after a few weeks and Laura will also in August. Larry will then go home with 5FU chemo attached to him via a fanny bag. He will have that disconnected on Wednesdays in Glenview. This will hopefully allow him to finish his Wed/Thurs summer school classes. The chemo regimen is every two weeks.
This schedule will change in August when he returns to teach one class. Loyola is working with him so that he can continue to teach. His MWF class can also be handled online if he needs to. Of course he says he wants his students to get their moneys worth and will do everything he can to be in class. If need be, Larry Kyo and I will take turns driving him to school and wait around until he is done and then drive him back home.
Larry is still feeling good. Running and lifting weights. This will change after this Monday, July 2nd because he will have a port placed in his chest and will no longer be able to lift weights. He is planning on continuing to run for as long as his body will let him. Go Larry!
He is now attempting to follow the Foods that Heal and Diet that I have written about. It is very difficult for him since he is going cold turkey on sugar and junk food. He keeps telling me that he can't possibly eat like me all at once.
We are trying to talk, think and be surrounded with HOPE. This is not always easy but we are doing the best we can.
