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...
