Good Morning!
We are up bright and early today. Connor and Ryan had a sleep over here last night; it's been a while, so they have been pretty charged up since arriving yesterday. It's only 8:30, but we've done a lot already this morning!
Our doctor and friend, Steve Howard (radiation oncologist) is returning to the UW Madison Hospital, so we met with him Thursday to discuss future plans. He decided to do an MRI yesterday so we could have peace of mind for the remainder of the summer. He did not expect to find any changes with the tumor, and, thankfully, he didn't. In fact, the MRI showed that the swelling around the tumor is slightly decreased, so that is a good sign, too. We have decided to dedicate the summer to getting Denny stronger so we can go to Madison in September where he will become part of the Tumor Clinic. The UW hospital is part of the top 50 cancer research hospitals and those who are part of the Tumor Clinic are included in any of the short trials that are appropriate for a particular type of cancer. Denny's tumor and it's location are both rare, so we really don't know what options, if any, will present themselves, but at least the possibility will be available.
That's our news for now. Have a wonderful weekend!
Love,
Carla

Hi Carla and Denny Wed. July 1
I just wanted to apologize for Ryan eating you out of house and home last night. I really do feed him! (and I also thought I had taught him better manners than to go through someone else's refrigerator !!:-) In any case, he so enjoyed his visit with you both, and reported that many things have improved for Denny - for which we are so thankful. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you a summer of warmth, happiness and healing. See you in September. Kris Powley
