Round 6

Robert is finishing his 3rd cycle (6th treatment) of chemo today. We spoke with his doctor and found out that he will still need to have 3 more cycles.The cancer does not show up on the scans but they know it is still there and want to do a through job of getting rid of it. We were a little bummed because we were told last time that he would only need 4 cycles instead of 6-8, but we were misinformed. As a standard they do at least 6 cycles. So as of today he is half way done, and according to my math should be done by August 9th. The doctor did say that he was very happy with his progress and things couldn't be going better. I guess we are just going to have to be patient and keep doing what were doing.

Just a note...

Just a note to let everyone know that all is well... Robert's blood work today was great! Now he'll just be chugging along until next weeks treatment. Remember to keep all those sick and afflicted in your prayers, we know he is listening!

Great News!!!

We found out today that Robert's cancer is gone!! I guess the scans they did last Thursday were completely clear. He still has some swelling of the lymph nodes and his chest cavity is a little larger than normal so the Dr. wants to do 2 more cycles. Robert did his fifth treatment today, so hopefully he will only need to have 3 more. We were shocked... to say the least! The nurse that we spoke with said that they did not expect this to go away so quickly... What a blessing! We are so thrilled!!! Nothing but smiles all around! We thought we would share the good news! Hope everyone has a fantastic week... I know we will! :D
