Sweet!!!

Dave had an MRI and doctors appointment Tuesday with the new Neuro-Oncologist at the Hunstman Cancer Institute. Dr. Glanz seemed very nice and knowledgeable about how to help Dave. He let us know that there is no reason Dave should be so tired and so sick when there are many different types of medication out there that could help with his problems. We were very excited to start the new medications in hopes of it really helping Dave out.

We had a very normal visit and Dr Glanz indicated that he was going to look at the MRI and he would be right back. When he returned we expected the normal response of "things look great and the tumor has stopped growing" but instead he dropped the bomb. He said "things look great I don't see any tumor at all". WHAT!!!!! Did he just say there was no tumor at all? Yep, he did!!!! I could not believe it. I think I asked him a dozen times if he was really sure. We have been told all along not to expect the Chemo to shrink the tumor, it would just stop it from growing any bigger. Not only did it stop the growth of the tumor but it got rid of the remaining tumor left after the surgery!!! SWEET!!!

Dr Glanz asked Dave how he felt about ending the chemo early. As you can guess Dave jumped at the chance to be done with chemo. So instead of the 12 months of chemo he will finish this month and only have 8 months of treatments. NICE!!

Now we are praying for many years of no new growth. That would be the best present ever.

The Lord really love us all and blesses us everyday!! I am so grateful for all your thoughts and prayers. We could not get through this without all your support.
