Quick update

I just wanted to clarify Trish's post a little.

His CT on Tuesday showed the tumor had grown, but this CT was compared to his one in January. He did 4 more weeks on his previous chemo and then had his "bad week"-- he has only improved since he started his new chemo and radiation.

My point is, we are hopeful that the tumor has been shrinking on the new chemo. It is possible that it grew during the 4 weeks he was on his previous chemo after his CT, and has began to shrink since then.

Since he did not have any imaging done (with contrast)before his current chemo, we just don't know what the new chemo is doing yet... we will have a better idea after his next CT.

We are enjoying him feeling well and as Trish said, he has been extra sweet the last week or so almost all the time-- he starts his next chemo round on Monday.

We had a bad winter storm (again) yesterday (got about 7 or 8 inches of snow with wind) so Brody got his last radiation treatment today rather then yesterday (the cancer center at Flower Hospital was closed yesterday).

We are hoping that was the last of the snow for the year-- been a crazy winter-- we have gotten a total of about 7 feet of snow this winter (which is way above normal for us).

I think that's it for now.....
