Scan results 11/18/08 HURRAH!!

Thomas had new scans done Monday 11/17/08. He met with his doctors this a.m. 10/18/08 and we have great news! His brain is quite normal, has one teeny tiny tumor left, the tumors throughout his torso are all reduced even more than they were in August. HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH!!!! He was getting ready to take a treatment this afternoon when I talked with him by phone and from this point on he will be on a maintenance program, 1 treatment every 3 months as long as it continues to fight his melanoma and keep it under control or the body decides to reject the treatments. We know and have always known that Thomas may not be cured 100% at least that's what the docs say, but as long as his immune system can be kept up to the point of fighting this ugly beast and God is in Thomas's corner, then hopefully he'll be here for a long time. We thank God for all that he has blessed Thomas and all my family with! Now, if we can just get them financially stabled out and sell that monsterous liability called a house in South Carolina and get them on with living, then life will be GOOD!!!! No 25 year old needs to carry these burdens! By the way, his 26th birthday is coming up on Nov 21st, could not ask for a better present than the news we have received today. He's a walking miracle and one that we hope will continue to prove that cancer can be controled, a good attitude (boy does he have one), the good Lord and good docs might just be the controlers. We just pray that things continue to get better and he continues to stay strong.

Keep him in your prayers, they have done wonders.
Thanks and love to all
Pat
