Nana and Bob Visit- October 2016

Nana and Bob visited and played with the kids. There's a lot of snuggling in this post.

Mom got her cancer scan results back and her tumors all shrunk! Since June, she's been on Lenvatinib (Lenvima- which targets VEGF) combined with everolimus (Afinitor- which targets mTOR). As I explained in an earlier post, VEGF is a protein which helps cancer grow blood vessels, and MTOR is a protein that makes cells divide and grow.

Hopefully, the new drug is extra good! It's only been approved for use in renal cell cancer since May 2016 and Mom started it right away in June. It's the fifth drug combo she's tried, but it has good stats for a new drug and it's approved for Line 2 treatment so I have big expectations for it.
