Yesterday's blood tests were good, levels are where they should be. He gets one more on Tuesday just to be sure they remain that way. That prednisone works wonders. Next is January 7 when he gets the PT scans and MRI's, etc. and finds out if phase 1 worked at all. Then the next day he sees the doctor and gets the first infusion of phase 2. He will get 6 of those, 2 weeks apart, we hope. The best part of yesterday is the couple we met in the waiting room. He had melanoma in the lungs and liver, note I said "had". He went through a clinical trial with Dr. Weber and has been cancer free for 2 years. He still gets maintenance infusions but they're getting so they are pretty far apart. There is hope, lots of it.

That's GREAT NEWS regarding the patient you met. Sounds like he is in remission. We are praying for the same thing for Don!
ReplyDeleteWe are still up in the "frozen northland" (MA)! Had two snowstorms since we got back - total of about 1' of snow. The weather has finally warmed up a bit (30s today, 40s tomorrow, and 50s for the weekend!
We will be heading back to FLA shortly after Christmas. Can't wait!!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, HEALTHY New Year!
