He said what?

Dr. S said the PET scan shows no visible signs of lymphoma! The cancer has responded so well to the treatment that it is now shrunk to the point of not being visible on a PET scan anymore. He cautioned that this doesn't mean it's gone, but it's going in the right direction and showing us that they're using the right chemo drugs and that Eric is responding great to the treatment. The enlarged lymph nodes are no longer there. He has three more rounds of chemo which should conclude at the end of May. At that time they'll do a bone marrow biopsy which will be much more conclusive than the PET scan. This is all GREAT news and we are so happy! Dr. S also agreed to no more weekly visits which means Eric just has to go get his blood drawn locally every two weeks as Dr. A has ordered. Piece of cake!

Next on the schedule: Chemo this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. We so hope these will get easier and that Eric won't feel any effects but, knowing it's working and it'll be over in two more months sure makes it all a lot easier to deal with.

Thank you to the prayer patrol, the well wishers, our families, friends we have met, and new friends we have never met, especially the prayer group and individuals from Old St. Pat's Church in Chicago. Keep those prayers coming!
