Dad's CT scan results from last week, comparing with the scan done in October, show that the tumor has diminished considerably. In fact, it has been reduced to 2/3 its original size, and would no longer create any effect (ie., at its current size, would not create any impact such as the blockage which originally caused the jaundice).
We are all very happy for such tremendous results from the 4 chemo treatments thus far (he had his 5th treatment today). The CT results will be reviewed by his oncologist and the specialist in St Louis; awaiting their recommendations. Since the chemo has been so effective, I expect more will follow, prior to any surgery.
Woo hoo! Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers! We're hoping this continues to go in the right direction....
Happy New Year! I am playing the Woohoo song as I write. It is very upbeat to get good news. We now have options. This is change you can count on. Have a great day.
