~ The scans done on Thursday showed the tumor has decreased from 13 cm to 8 cm! James will finish the last two chemo treatments, have another scan and meet with a liver surgeon at MD Anderson-Downtown. Dr. Coscio has forwarded James' chart to the surgeon for him to familiarize himself with James' case before we meet. Not sure on dates or times of surgery but surgery is likely.
~ The PFT (pulmonary function test) showed the chemo is not affecting James' lung function so his chemo treatments will remain the same this round. He will have another PFT before the next round of treatment.
Praise-
- Thank God for giving James the strength and desire to get out of the house this past weekend. We enjoyed time outdoors in the beautiful weather and spent time with family and friends!
- James has remained fever free!
- I have an upper respiratory infection. I started antibiotics but please pray for a quick recovery so I will be able to care for James and work! (Don't forget, its Valentine's week and I work in a Floral Shop!)
- James is experiencing some nausea this round.
