Dave has started a new treatment for his brain cancer called Avastin. It is an infusion drug he gets every two weeks at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. He could be on this for 1-2 YEARS. Yikes!!! So far it doesn't make him too sick. The biggest problem so far is that he gets lots of bloody noses. We just hope it will help with the recurring growth. We will keep you posted.
Santa visited the infusion center the last time we were there. Dave was a giddy as a school girl. Really, I am not joking. He thought it was the best thing ever.

Santa is a former patient and likes to come and help cheer all the people up. Nice guy!!
Dave's infusions have been about an hour to and hour and a half to administer. I feel really lucky because some of the people are there when we get there and are still there when we leave. I think some infusions are an all day thing. That would be so hard! I am grateful Dave does not have to be there all day. The nurses are wonderful and do all they can to make the procedure as painless as possible. They even let me have a warm blanket while I am waiting with him. Dave doesn't need the blankets. He just makes me get him a roast beef, pepper jack panini. The grill at the Huntsman is YUMMY! As you can tell he has not lost his appetite.
