Hi!
We have just returned from the appointment with the oncologist, and things are good. The written report from the radiologist regarding Denny's most recent MRI indicates that there is no perceived blood flow to the tumor. In essence, the tumor appears to have died as a result of the chemo and/or radiation. The mass itself is still there, which is the unusual part of this. Dr. Meena's theory is that Denny's body has been working so hard to overcome the incredible hit it took when he had the blood clots, that it couldn't absorb the dead cells in the tumor.
Naturally, nobody is telling us he is cancer free, but she did say that there is no need at this time to consider more chemo. We are just going to stay the course with all of his current meds, physical therapy program, and keep thinking very positive thoughts!! He will be closely monitored and will have another MRI in September.
This is all because of you and your prayers, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This business of taking one day at a time will be a little easier with this new optimism!
Love to all,
Carla
