Good News I was wrong. The CT scan did show another 10% percent increase in the tumor, but the Dr. said the was still good. He will go back at the end of Jan for a repeat scan. He does not think we should start chemo to soon, since he is not really having many issues. He thinks the pain is coming from the rads.

Thank you for all of your prayers.

    Hi Kathy
    I get a lot of pain in the body, so bad sometimes it makes me wonder but they say everything looks good. The worse of my pain is on the left side of the face by the ear down to the Jaw, my ENT said it is due to nerve damage from the radiation. Oh well a good pain pill in the morning and evening and I am almost normal. I am still praying for your Dad everyday so tell him hello for me.

    God bless

    The doctor says “still good”, that’s good news. Here’s hoping things go his way.
