Almost 2 down, 2 to go

Sorry this hasnt been updated yet but better late than never. Let's see, on Friday we went and saw Dr. Tannir. He came in only to see Jason which I thought was very nice. He was happy with Jason's progress. HIS TUMOR MARKERS ARE FALLING!!! This is great news it means the chemo is working and the tumors are shrinking. Jason and I were so relieved, getting that good news mad going back in alittle easier. The doc does not want to do any CT scans or MRIs this time, he is happy with the markers and Jason being in less pain and doesnt want to expose Jason to any unnecessary radiation right now. We agree with him, but we will do the scans after his last round of chemo.
So far this round of chemo has been completely boring and uneventful which is just the way I want it. On Monday I got Jason down the room for 15-30 year olds. It has video games, a pool table, big screen tvs etc. He said it was fun but only lasted a little while. Oh well it was good for him to get out and see other younger cancer patients.
We are currently waiting for them to start the next round of chemo, Ill give them a little while longer before I bug them. We are getting sprung tomorrow, however will be back in Friday for his outpatient Bleomycin. But then we are free until the next Friday. We dont see the doctor again until right before we go back in for the 3rd round. They are sending him home with some Neupogen shots to help keep up his blood count. They work so we are all over it.
His spirits are good, he's tired and ready to be home and see Ronan. We both are, but it hasnt been to bad this time. We got good news pray thats what keeps coming.

  2. Hey there Kim - I am so sorry to hear you guys are going through this. Our prayers are always with you guys. What a wonderful person you are to do this for all your friends and family. I would love to bring some food to your house sometime soon - let me know what Jason is capable of eating and we would love to swing by.
