Some very good news!

Well, we went back to Dana Farber Wednesday for another round of treatments. His platelets were 58,000, which was fine, but his ANC was down so the dose of Irinotecan was slightly reduced. His exam was fine.

The best part of the day was seeing the MRI films from last week for the first time. Truly amazing, the tumor is maybe 10% of what it was back in March! Swelling has also decreased.

So not only have the drugs stopped the growth, it was even smaller than when they found it six weeks after his last surgery. The 22 cm lump? Gone! They can’t say how long or what more to expect, but the words the doctor used was “very impressive”.

My thanks for all the prayers!

Next appointment is two weeks.
