As I posted on Facebook last week, the oncologist opted to skip his treatment (and make last week plus the prior week when he had surgery, his two "off" weeks). Today he began a new 6-week cycle (four weeks of treatments, two off). Tomorrow we go back to get the 24-hour pump removed.
Good news: his bloodwork looked very good, and tumor marker has continued to go down! Also, he gained 4 lbs! So the surgery appears to have cleared up the plumbing problem as we hoped.
As a side note and perhaps a good omen, on the way home from his treatment in Joplin today, we saw two spotted baby deer and their momma in the woods. Ahhh...
The weight gain is very good news. Dave said he watered plants the other day and he sounds good on the new android telephone.
