Good News

Jim's report on his CT scans was very positive. All the enlarged lymph nodes in his pelvis, abdomen and chest have gone down to normal size!!!! Hooray! Thanks for all of your prayers. He will have just 2 more cycles of Chemo as recommended, starting tomorrow the 5th cycle. He is still very worn out, down to 170 lbs., but the diarrhea is over and his appetite is back. Barbara

  5. Barbara,
    Tammy says you sound like a good nurse and we appreciate the good SOAP notes.
    I've been out of town and tried to call earlier today before I read the blog and realized you folks would not be home.

    JM
