The changes in size of Brody's tumor have been so subtle that I decided to mark where I could feel the outline of the margins of his tumor with a Sharpie. I marked the outline on Wednesday. Brody came home from hospital on Wednesday after just finishing 6 day round of chemo (5 days chemo and 1 day fluids). Today (Friday) I can feel the margin on the right side has shrunk away just a bit from where I had marked it on Wednesday. Other areas seem to be just about the same size. So at least one part of the tumor is slightly smaller and others staying the same (not getting bigger) right now. The tumor had started growing quite a bit larger pretty quick just a couple days before he started this last round of chemo. So at least the current regimen is slowing the growth down and may be making it a slight bit smaller. We hope Brody's blood counts are able to recover quickly so he can get chemo again sooner rather than later. Don't want the tumor to have time to recover and get any bigger. Want to hit it with chemo again as soon as Brody has recovered enough to handle the chemo again.
