Gary is showing signs of improvement, at least in his energy level. He is eating good and getting a little more energy every day. He is in his second round of chemo treatments on Mondays only. One more week then he will be off a week.
Dr Anderson from Barnes in St Louis called us last Wednesday, March 23rd, and said he wanted Gary to come up for another CT Scan in 2 months. He had talked with Dr Leo in Bolivar and was happy with the treatments Dr Leo has planned for Gary. Dr Anderson is going to consult with other oncologists who are in charge of clinical trials to see if Gary would qualify for one. If so, we should hear from the oncologists. For now, we have not heard anything from them.
We continue to take one day at a time. We are thankful for at least one full week of normalcy (?) without any sudden pain attacks, nausea, etc. We are so thankful for the prayers. The doctors need all the help they can get.

Two steps forward! Keep up the good work. Sorry we didn't get to visit with you this past Saturday, but I really wanted to keep this cold all to myself. I know that sounds stingy, but I'm enjoying coughing and blowing my nose so much, I couldn't bear the thought of passing if off to anyone else.
ReplyDeleteWe've giving you a rain check. When you up to a stimulating intellectual challenge or totally bored out of your gourd, give us a call and we'll jeep up to Bolivar to visit and bring a pie!
Hot-lining prayers for you and Jannis; strength and total recovery for you, sanity for Jannis!
Your Jasper friends!
