Kudos Dr. Nick
Recently on the news there was a clip about a new procedure they are using for brain cancer. It involves scorpion venom treatment. I watched the clip and they interviewed the patient and then interviewed the doctor doing the experiment and it is Scott's Oncologist out of Orlando. Scott and I had an appt. on Friday and I was asking him about it. As it stands right now the tumor has to be 80% removable. That is not an option for Scott because it is to close to his motor track but, Dr. Nick has said they have done a couple inter venously where they didn't remove any of the tumor and the scorpion venom went straight to the brain and killed the cancer cells. I asked him in the future would this be an option for Scott and he said absolutely. The great thing about Dr. Nick is he is not only an neuro oncologist but is also big in his work into research. Scott and I both have so much faith in him. Dr. Nick did want to wait another week for Scott to begin his chemo treatment because of the last one making him so sick and landing him in the hospital. So on Monday the 11th Scott has an appt. to for an injection to be given inter venously to ease the effects and last him the 5 days he is in his chemo. This will be his 8th treatment and if everything goes to schedule he will only have 4 more to go.
