Quick update

Just back from Dana Farber - Rick's platelets were at 78,000, so we were able to continue chemotherapy with no changes. Only one TIA in the last two weeks. His exam was stable, he's doing good and enjoying school, except for the homework.

Last week's MRI showed no tumor growth, so for now, we are doing very well. Doctor tells us that Rick's response has been "very dramatic", so they want to continue chemo and add aspirin to hopefully control the TIAs. Increased risk of bleeding but a major stroke could really cause us problems so it's the lesser of two evils hopefully.

Thank you for all the prayers and good thoughts. The angels are with us.
