CT Scan Results Good

We got Brody's CT scan results back.  Doc said it all looks good.  Everything clear except the lymph node that was still enlarged last time.  This time that lymph node is smaller.  Oncologist thinks it's still very possibly all dead cancer cells in that lymph node and surgery too risky to remove it at this point.  So plan is that Brody is to be considered done with chemo now still and he'll have his chest port removed sometime in next few weeks.  And he will get CT scans every three months.  So one minor surgery left and some oral meds he'll take for 6 more months and then he should hopefully be all done if no recurrences.  Brody got his cast off yesterday too and was so excited to finally play in the snow and get in the hot tub again.
