Bad News on Ross Zirkle's recovery

Things are not going so well now. The new chemo that Ross has been on, hasn't done a damn thing. From what I understand the cancer is all over the liver and has already spread to the lymph nodes, it has not yet spread to the brain or lungs. Since the new chemo was a complete failure, Ross and his doctors have decided to go back to a form of the original chemo that did
so well at the beginning, his treatments will now be two doses in consecutive days, along with three types of drugs to go along with it. The choices for Ross are becoming very limited, he was given the option of the treatment that he will start soon, an experimental treatment only used on two people whose results are not known yet, or to stop treatments. This new treatment will continue until sometime in april when they will stop and do another evaluation. I don't know what else to say right now, it's just been a shitty day.
I'll be in touch soon,
Derrick
