Great response!

Well... Dr C. showed us the pictures from the PET scan that was done on Tuesday. We compared it to the first one that was done and there are no spots seen! This means that the two cycles of treatment that Steve has had diminished the cancer enough that it cannot be seen by scans anymore. Those scans can only detect up to a certain depth so there could still be some there that will not show. Dr. C is very pleased with how this is responding, as are we. Steve continues to come in with good labwork and still feels quite good. We are convinced now that he will not lose any hair. He still gets tired and sleeps whenever he can squeeze it in. I'm sure the weather getting nicer will help to keep his spirits up. I know it can't be easy.

The next treatment is scheduled for May 7th which will coincide with moving him out of the dorm and moving Allison home from Brookings. It will be some busy days but I love having them home and I'm sure they will love being home! ;) ha ha

Have a wonderful weekend.
