Results of dad's CT scan

Dad's scan was clear today. His doctor told him he had three choices.

1. He could stop chemo completly and wait for another occurance

2. He could have started again with no break on a lower dose of the same chemo

3. He could take a two month break, then rescan and go from there.


Dad and the doctor felt the best option for him was 3. So dad will have a break until June 2 when he goes for another CT scan.

Thank you for all your prayers and please know my family is praying for all of you.

    Door Number 3 please...
    I was thinking which option would be best if it were me...

    I think #3 is probably the best approach as well.

    It gives a little time to settle out, take a breather and make sure that nothing develops.

    Best,
