HALLELUJAH! Carl talked via phone to his oncologist today and he was told that his last treatment 2 weeks ago was his final one! (History- dx 10/06 stage IV mets to liver & 12 nodes) He was able to finish 10 rounds (scheduled for 11 but said he was done at 10!) We will be meeting with the onc on Wed. to find out what happens next with recovery and when they will scan him.
We are SUPER excited!
Thank you for all of the information that we received during his treatment and surgery,
Heather and Carl

    Congrats to you both,
    I still remember vividly the thrill in the midst of exhaustion that I felt when I was done. It took a while for me to get back in shape, but looking back over 3 yrs, it seems like a long time ago! (see my post above!) Best of luck with the followup scans. Judy
