So we talked to the doctor today, and he went over the images with me (and Jude, who kept saying, "woe! it looks like a skull!") He says that everything looks very good. Everything has continued to shrink, including that questionable spot. He says there are only a few spots that he can see, which is a huge improvement from when we got here in May, when Jude's brain had 50 tumors, and remainders from the big tumor that surgery couldn't remove, plus tumors in the spine. So hopefully, these remaining spots will continue to shrink, even after we go home. (Radiation continues to work for years) To be honest, I am afraid to get too happy, because this kind of cancer can come back fast and agressively and at any time......but for now, it's great news and a relief! (for the next three months, anyway) Jude is getting another appetite stimulant...so if he can eat enough to maintain and or gain weight, we will be able to come home if he is stable. Docs havn't given us a date yet, they just have to monitor Jude's weight and his counts, and make sure he is eating and holding his own. Hopefully he'll be hungry soon....
Thankyou so very much again for all your prayers, love and support. It means so much...and we love you all!!
PS....Uncle Cory and Veronica came to visit, and had a great time!
