Good News!!

Brian and I received good news today. Brian went to see his chemo doctor and his oncologist today. The chemo doctor told Brian that he looks great and that he is doing better than 80% of the people with the same cancer. I think it was good for him to hear that from someone else besides me. Now our next task at hand is to get him to eat again and get rid of the feeding tube. He also needs to get up and exercise which if he does he will start feeling better. Makes sense to me!!

The other part of the good news is that Dr. McLean did a scope of his throat and it looks great!! He said that there is sore that looks like it is scabbed over and healing and everything looks normal!! Of course we still don't know if the cancer is gone totally or not as he has to have the PET scan. The PET scan is a dye that they put into his system and if there are any cancer cells left they will illuminate. We will find that out late July early August. I really want to get excited but I'm also fearful too. If they find cancer still he will have to undergo surgery which will be very taxing on Brian, as he has been through enough already. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there.

In the meantime Brian continues to heal and is very impatient, but knows that he is headed in the right direction.

Thanks to everyone for all your support!!
