Hello.
We had the meeting with Dr Sardi yesterday to determine if all the cancer was removed by the surgery. He looked at the CT scans and Jim does not have any cancer remaining (i.e., none visible on the CT scan). Such great news!!!
He's supposed to keep having the chemo treatments though... So far he's had two treatments with very little side-effects... Almost no reaction to cold substances, a little bathroom running, and fatigue. He has ten treatments to go and if everything goes well, his last will be done on Christmas Day.
Six weeks after the last chemo treatment, he will need to have another CT scan done and then schedule an appointment with Dr Sardi again (possibly in Feb 2006).
As far as we are concerned, we are on the home stretch of putting this all behind us. Optimistic, yes. But good towards keeping a positive attitude. Thanks for checking in... : )
