SCANS~

Just a quick update for everyone. I will try to update more later on.

Michael had all his scans on Friday May 15th. He had CT scans, MRI’s, and the also did a lumbar puncture for the spinal tap. He was down for a few days with the spinal tap.

We finally did talk with his doctor late Wednesday evening. The spot (or shadowing) where the tumor was is still showing on the MRI. It has not changed any from the previous MRI. They did the spinal tap and tested his fluid. IT IS CLEAR OF DISEASE!! They are saying with the surgery and radiation that the spot may stay. So at this point he is still clear. We are very happy to hear this.

So we will proceed as discussed at the first of the month. He will go in for his “in-patient” chemo on June 4th for 5 day and repeat every 3 weeks. We are not sure how many treatments he will have at this point; it will all depend on how well his body can manage the chemo this time.

Please continue to keep those fighting this dreaded disease and their families in your prayers.
