We went in today to talk to the doctors about what the scans have showed. The MRI showed no new growth for the second time. The CT showed the same nodules that have been in his lungs. All are stable which should now indicate that they are scare tissue. The oncologist told us that he is tentatively in remission. If all the scans are the same in April we will get the full in remission statement from the doctors. We will have labs draw in two weeks to check the cancer cell number to make sure it is staying in the normal range. Then again the beginning of February. Then in April we will have the new CT/MRI scans to confirm that he is indeed in remission.
Michael's blood counts are coming back up nicely. His immunity is starting to come back up. He has 1200 fighting cells now. We have to wait for it to come up to 2300. That is the low end of normal. We hope to be able to get him to church Next week. Then hopefully back to church more and more. This is only the beginning we hope.
