4th Chemo complete.

Hi all, sorry for the lack of posts.  There really hasn't been much to report.  Holly's fatigue continues to get a little worse each session, which is expected but hard to endure sometimes.  She has good days and bad.

On the progress front, we got the 4th session of Chemotherapy in the books.  In another 2 weeks, there will hopefully be a PET scan that *should* reveal no more cancer.  According to the fine folks at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center that is typically the case.  IF it is clear, then there will be 2 more Chemo sessions followed by radiation to hopefully fully eradicate the cancer.

Your continued support and prayers are appreciated.

Thanks.
Jeff

Chemo #3; PET scan results

Well, Chemotherapy session #3 is in the books, but its after effects will happen over the next 3 weeks.  Rumor is that this one will be tougher, but we'll have to wait and see.

We got Thursday's PET scan results back, and we can share those with you.  The doctor is very encouraged at what he saw after only 2 treatments.

The image on the left is from January scan, and the one on the right was from last week.  Note that the left image shows the heart as a "hot spot" but this is not anything to worry about, its just the nature of the scan.  Also, these images are in layers, and these are the layers that showed the most activity.

Holly's stress levels, though high, are a little lower after seeing this.  I think all of us feel the same.  Its nice to see progress being made!
