Unfortunately, a scan last week revealed new tumors. They are small -- in fact the two docs talked for awhile to decide if it was 2 or 3 hot spots. The surgeon also reviewed the scans and agreed that chemo should take care of these new trouble spots.
The plan is to run an infusion of irinotecan for chemo, which is new for Conan, and also treat with avastin, which he got in 2011. Next week he'll get the first dose and we'll take it from there.
We have known all along that the likelihood of recurrence is high, so the scans have continued about every three months. Because of that, these new growths were caught early and will be treated quickly and effectively.
