Update - Scan results - 2/10/09

Thomas had all his scans done on Monday 2.9.09 and we met with his cancer doctors Tuesday 2.10.09. HURRAH! GREAT NEWS! His results were amazing, better than 3 months ago. All signs of tumors are gone completely from the brain and all throughout his torso have continued to decrease, but one. The one tiny tumor in his chest on the rib cage has increased from .9 to .10, it is still so small that the doctors are not concerned. He had been experiencing some pain in that area in the last couple weeks, but they said it is from inflamation. Telling him to take Ibuprofen for the inflamation. He said he had been doing that and things seem to be getting better. All the other tumors are either gone or decreased. He has gained back his weight and is really looking and feeling great. Still has some lost agility in his legs from the surgery he had done on his spine last year, but all feeling has returned, and they told him to start doing some exercise, nothing over-exerting, bicycling, walking, swimming etc.

They gave him his treatment yesterday too, so he will continue on this schedule every 3 months. Scans on Monday, results and treatment on Tuesday every 3 months. We are so estatic and feel so blessed that this clinical trial treatment has done so much and the miracle of God has definitely been with Thomas.

We want to thank all who have kept Thomas and family in their prayers and we ask for continued prayers to keep him going down the path he is following. This road seems to be the perfect path for him to keep fighting and keep his cancer in control.

We will keep you posted on any future success or change.

Thanks
Pat
