Today we received some wonderful news! The scans show no new tumor growth! Because of the clotting complications, Jeff has not been able to start treatments and has gone 2 months with no treatment! The Dr. was very pleased that no growth appeared during that time. Jeff is now ready to start the next phase of treatment which consists of chemo for five days in a row along with Acutane for 3 weeks, then one week off. This will continue for 2 months at which time we will return to MD Anderson for evaluation. There will be side effects, primarily fatigue, but we all know that he can handle pretty much anything!

We realize there will probably continue to be some bumps in the road, but we are thrilled with the news from today!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYER, AND GOD BLESS!!!!!
