SHRINKAGE in his lung tumor!!!!
Thank you all for your prayers!!!!
Also his brain mets, he had three and 15 WBR and now only one very small one is showing up!!!!
And even more good news NO ACTIVITY with the scan to his stomach!!!
He is going to stay on 21 day cycle of Gemzar and Carboplatin. Our onc is lowering the dose of Gemzar a little to help prevent his platelets from getting too low. Today his bloodwork was great, so he had Gemzar and Carbo, next Wed they will do bloodwork and Gemzar, the next Wed just bloodwork. Then we see the onc and continue on if all is well. He said he will probably do scans again in 2 or 3 months.
We are so happy, and he is so thankful that all the treatment and care he is receiving is helping him. Also he tolerates this combo quite well, just extra tired, and he sleeps alot for a few days after, other than that he feels good!!
Again thank you all so much for your prayers and support, maybe now I can relax a bit, and think positive thoughts for now.
I pray for you all, and wish more good results for all!!
Huggs, Karen
