Update

Hi everyone- Sorry it has been so long since the last entry. Jon has been doing well. Last week he had his 4th round of chemo. He has been feeling well for the most part. He gets a little tired and worn out the first couple days after chemo and then he is better. Today was a big day...he had his first CT scan 0f his chest/abd/pelvis since before the treatment started. The results came back that everything is "status quo"...nothing new nor changed. The three tumor spots on his liver look the same size. Nothing has spread, and nothing has shrunk. We were hoping to see that the chemo had decreased the tumors a little. We know that he is responding though, because his cancer marker lab has been coming down. Next Monday he has an appointment with Dr. Flynn, where we will discuss these results and our continual game plan. We are still on the track of 6 treatments, and hopefully the liver resection in early June. Hope everyone is doing well...

Happy Easter

We hope that everyone had a great holiday weekend. Jon is doing well. He had his third 3rd treatment last week and didn't experience the severe pain he had with the 2nd treatment. We also learned that his cancer marker dropped down to 10 (which was in the 30's 2 weeks ago). After his next treatment he will have another CT. The plan is still the same...6 treatments and then a liver resection.

Clinic visit with Dr. Flynn

Jon saw the oncologist this am. Dr. Flynn gave Jon encouraging news. All of his labs are normal, he isn't experiencing any concerning side effects, and he is responding well to the treatment. Jon's next chemo treatment is tommorrow. Two cycles of treatment done....four to go!!!
