Good News All Around

The scans came back and the tumor has shrunk condiserably! We are very happy. The cramping pain he had been having was making me so worried. The doctors expect that there will always be some residual tissue there from the tumor even if the cells are dead, so it may never be completely gone. They are only concerned if they see new growth. So everything is right on track. The other really good news is that the new medicine they gave him worked and he slept really good 2 nights without cramping pain. So they think the pain was from reflux probably caused by all the treatment stuff. He got his chemo last night and so we are now at home. It was almost a week at the hospital, but it was productive so we are glad. We do have to give him the IV antibiotics at home for an hour each time at 6:00am, 12:00pm, 6:00pm, and 12:00am till Wednesday. Thank you everyone for the food, calls, visits, and prayers.
