Zelbor-off it for now

So Bennie had his monthly check up at MD Anderson this week, and it just so happened to have fallen on our 8th wedding anniversary.  At least we got to be together the whole day!  We are pros now at making any situation fun and enjoyable!  So he had his blood work, EKG, and his Dr. Appt.  MD Anderson is always full of surprises.  If you have an idea of how you think things will go.... It will always be the opposite.  Everytime.  So basically his blood work was a little off, and he has been having a lot of different side effects pop up in the last couple of weeks.   Some side effects have been painful joints, skin toxicity like acne and sunburns, fatigue, and elevated creatine. They decided to hold off the Zelboraf for a week, and then after they retest to make sure his levels are normal again, restart him at a lowered dose.  Most likely the dose he was on is just too toxic for him, and hopefully the lowered dosage will continue to work just as well.  Also, hoping he can restart next week and nothing happens this week while he is off of the pill.  It's scary when you think back at how quickly the tumors shrunk.... So hoping they don't regrow that fast.  We will keep everyone updated on the development of this story, and the upcoming scans in about 2 weeks!  We ended the day having a nice dinner out at the Steamboat House. It was an interesting  restaurant with a lot of Texas history, and a good steak.  We are so thankful for these past 8 years we have been married (almost 15 years since we started dating at the age of 15) and are looking forward to many many more!!!
